“玩乐时光：天井电影院”的灵感源自外滩美术馆新大门前的这片户外广场，它令人想起上海各类传统住宅空间中皆有的“天井”空间结构，它四面围合，但同时又有着四通八达的小门户和小出口，它既是私人家庭单位与更大社群的交汇处，也是一个自由的露天乐园。天井，这种如今已几近消失的生活空间，唤起了我们当代都市生活中正大量缺失的、却又极具价值的乡土野趣经验和社群互动体验，我们能在此以流动的露天氛围中共享一个日常话题或一集电视一部电影。大部分上海人都曾聚集在天井里洗涤、晾晒、闲谈、纳凉、游戏、讲故事，在物质匮乏的年代，我们曾挤在这样的露天共享空间中一起看一台装有放大镜的黑白电视机，所以在此次“玩乐时光：天井电影院”的活动中，我们以创新的方式重现这种经验。第二届外滩建筑节期间，在 all(zone) 的装置作品“同一片天空下”的空间中，我们搭建了几组半露天屏幕观影装置，并轮映5部与上海住宅与城市空间有关的喜剧电影，从1937年的《马路天使》到1994年的《股疯》，再度回看并体味本土市井生活在空间性和社会变革中的转变与延续。放映项目由Ag策划，并以9月12日的一场对谈开启整个活动，引出12晚/场的轮映，让有备而来的露天观影爱好者或随机走入这座“天井”的漫游者们都能自然自发地坐下，轻松享受这份旧日喜剧时光，以此激活我们对这类露天小型社区空间的记忆、体验与创新活力。

9月12日下午的对谈“围合与开放：论上海本土住宅空间的公共性与游戏性”，由Ag主持，与两位来自不同研究与创作背景的嘉宾李颖春，汤惟杰为我们带来关于上海自开埠以来的城市住宅空间的演变故事，从老城厢、本地人绞圈房、石库门、洋房里弄到工人新村，在多种极具上海本土基因的建筑空间的样本与居住经验中，探讨当代都市生活中对于公共、玩乐与野趣的可能性。

The inspiration for Playtime: A Tian Jing Cinema came from the outdoor plaza in front of the Rockbund Art Museum. This space evoked the structural memory of Tian Jing—a common feature in various traditional residential spaces in Shanghai. Enclosed on all sides yet dotted with small, accessible doors and exits, the Tian Jing served as both a junction between individual family units and the broader community, and a free, open-air haven. In the past, the Tian Jing—a living space that has nearly vanished—stirred up experiences of rural charm and community interaction: experiences that were vastly lacking yet immensely valuable in contemporary urban life. It was a space where people shared daily conversations, an episode of a TV show, or a film amid the fluid atmosphere of the outdoors. Most Shanghai locals once gathered in Tian Jings to do laundry, hang clothes out to dry, chat, cool off in the shade, play games, and tell stories. In times of material scarcity, people even huddled together in such shared open-air spaces to watch a black-and-white TV set fitted with a magnifying glass. It was this experience that we sought to recreate in an innovative way through Playtime: A Tian Jing Cinema.

During RAM assembles and within the installation of all(zone)'s Under the Common Sky, we set up several semi-open-air screen installations and screened five comedy films that focused on Shanghai's residential and urban spaces. Spanning from Street Angel (1937) to Shanghai Fever(1994), these screenings invited audiences to revisit and reflect on the transformations and continuities of local everyday life amid spatial changes and social shifts. The screening program is curated by Ag and kicked off with a talk on September 12, followed by twelve evening screenings. Whether audiences were outdoor film enthusiasts who came by reservation or passersby who wandered into this "Tian Jing" by chance, all felt welcome to sit down naturally and relax into this nostalgic comedy experience—rekindling memories, experiences, and innovative vitality related to such small, open-air community spaces.

The talk "Enclosure & Openness: The Publicity and Playfulness of Shanghai's Local Residential Spaces" featured Li Yingchun, Tang Weijie and was moderated by AG. They shared stories about the evolution of Shanghai's urban residential spaces since the city's opening as a treaty port. Covering architectural samples and living experiences deeply rooted in Shanghai's local identity—from the old walled city, local Jiao Quan Fang (courtyard houses with a square layout), Shi Ku Men (stone-gate houses), foreign-style lane houses, to workers’ new villages—the discussion explored the possibilities of public life, playfulness, and rustic charm in modern urban living.
