Front Lawn Film Nights: 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  
Front Lawn Film Nights Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Get a bit of fun and fresh air with Asia Society this spring as we screen a collection of Asian and Asian American films outdoors on our front lawn! Spanning decades, genres, and cultures, our Front Lawn Film Nights series showcases groundbreaking filmmakers and artists who have made their mark in popular cinema.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an epic saga from the 19th-century wuxia world of Chinese martial arts, telling the story of the mythical sword "Green Destiny" and those who wield it. Director Ang Lee's film brings together striking imagery, score, and emotional depth, winning dozens of awards after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000.

View the film socially distanced from your own lawn pod — we've outlined a series of eight-foot circles across our festival lawn, each of which can accommodate up to four people, giving you and your friends or family space to cozy up in. Bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks to enjoy during the film!

We're also offering a Popcorn and Candy Package, which includes a candy box sampling some of our favorite Asian sweet treats, plus popcorn made fresh onsite. Each box serves two people; purchase your box online along with your tickets.

Please note we'll strictly adhere to protocols to keep our guests and staff safe throughout each event. Learn more about our health and safety protocols and procedures.
