For the first time ever, Avant Gardner is launching its outdoor summer movie series: Mirage Cinema. Prepare yourself for an outdoor film viewing experience and party unlike any other in New York. 360-degree projection, 3D immersive sound, interactive photo booths, an ice cream social, and so much more! The Movie The series kicks off with the coming-of-age cult classic Dazed and Confused, a nostalgia-drenched ode to summer vacation and high school memories. Everyone is trying to get drunk, stoned, or laid and as Matthew McConaughey’s iconic Wooderson reminds us; “you just gotta keep livin man, L-I-V-I-N.” Our Outdoor Theatre Our tropical courtyard is the ideal location for a unique outdoor movie viewing experience. We turn our world-class club into an immersive open air theatre. Classics and blockbusters will be projected on a giant 18’x32’ screen stretched along the front of our stage paired with a VHD5.0 festival-level sound system. With padded folded chairs in the front, picnic tables in the back, and intimate premium viewing areas for couples or larger groups, the 18,000 sq ft open space welcomes guests for an unparalleled movie experience in NYC.
