DESCRIPTION:The AIA East Bay’s Regional Urban Design Committee invites you to 
 “Dinner and a Movie” on Wednesday, June 25 at 5:30pm.  \n\nThe featured 
 movie is Playtime by Jacques Tati. Jacques Tati's "sequel" to Mon Oncle 
 finds Monsieur Hulot and a group of tourists wandering, baffled and 
 hopeful, through a modernist and impersonal Paris. Played out as a long 
 visual pun, we observe the hapless travelers move through grand yet cold 
 spaces as the buildings tease us with glimpses of old Paris in its 
 reflections. In the end, the film isn't about how modern architecture and 
 urban design makes public space meaningless, but how we can, to quote film 
 critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, "...look around at the world we live in (the one 
 we keep building), then at each other, and to see...how many brilliant 
 possibilities we still have in a shopping-mall world that perpetually 
 suggests otherwise..." It can be a lesson in how our desire for beauty and 
 community can bring life into a manufactured and sterile 
 environment.\n\nThe movie will follow with a lively discussion on the 
 impact of urban planning. \n\nTime: 5:30pm\nLocation: AIA East Bay Chapter 
 Office, 1405 Clay Street, Oakland\nContact: Kellie Hewlett at
