Jacques Tati, 'Playtime'

Collective brings people together to look at, think about and produce contemporary art in a new kind of city observatory.

Collective

This one-off screening of Playtime has been programmed by artist Katie Schwab, as part of <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://bit.ly/sp_ks" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Together in a Room</A>. Made in 1967 by French filmmaker Jacques Tati, the film features Tati’s famous alter ego Monsieur Hulot and is best known for its enormous 1:1 scale set – a hybrid, exaggerated modernist Paris designed with architect Eugène Roman. This semi-futuristic cityscape titled ‘Tativille’ contained steel and concrete buildings, multilane tarmac roads, and several trompe l’oeil facades built predominantly of glass. Playtime will be screened within Katie’s installation, an environment inspired by dolls houses and architectural model design.
