This year’s Garage Screen summer cinema has been unveiled. The structure, located in front of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, is the result of an architectural competition organized by the museum and Strelka KB.
Resembling a pyramid trunk, the SYNDICATE architects designed pop-up cinema invites viewers to watch films in a highly unique space in the middle of Gorky Park. While the structure is without walls, red velvet curtains create the illusion of a cozy, enclosed chamber where movie-goers can relax and allow themselves to get lost in the plot.

Garage will reopen its summer cinema in a new Garage Screen pavilion and resume the film program that introduces the public to a selection of recent festival hits and film classics ranging from genre cinema to avant-garde and experimental pictures. For the second year running, Garage Screenn summer season is presented in partnership with Farfetch—an online platform that supports cultural initiatives across the world. In 2018, Garage and Farfetch organized over 118 film screenings seen by over 16,000 visitors.
The result of Garage Museum and Strelka KB’s partnership is one of the biggest summer attractions in Moscow this year. The competition winner, the SYNDICATE architects, presented a weightless, practically floating construction. The main focus of the concept was user experience for both audiences and visitors to the square. Thanks to a reflective material, the pavilion blends in with the surrounding space during the day, serving as a self-sufficient central object on the Square of Arts.
A Russian competition to develop the movie theater’s architectural concept was conducted in 2018 and became a platform for out-of-the-ordinary, ambitious young architects in the country. More than 130 teams from 24 cities around Russia participated.
The winner was chosen by a jury made up of Garage co-founder Daria Zhukova, Garage director Anton Belov, director of the Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture, and Design and Strelka KB partner Varvara Melnikova, Strelka Architects CEO Daria Paramonova, co-founder of the GRACE design bureau and designer of the first Garage Screen pavilion Ekaterina Golovatyuk, and BuroMoscow co-founder and partner Olga Aleksakova.
In summer, Garage Screen will be showing a selection of special programs and retrospectives, including collaborations with Russia’s key contemporary film festivals such as Beat, MIEFF and Kinotavr. A special program on subcultures and their cultural significance developed together with Farfetch and The Blueprint—an independent online source on fashion, beauty and culture—will run throughout the season.

June premieres include the documentary Searching Eva (2019) by Pia Hellenthal that has been presented in the Panorama section of the Berlinale and Philippe Lesage's Genesis, which premiered at the 71st Locarno Festival—both exploring the fragile and elusive identities constructed by contemporary teenagers.
Opening on June 28, Garage’s major exhibition project The Coming World will also be accompanied by a program of screenings including Ulrich Köhler’s post-apocalyptic story of the last man on Earth In My Room (2018) and Wild (2016) by Nicolette Krebitz—a romantic horror loosely based on the story of the Little Red Riding Hood.
