This open-air cinema in the "8 Lanes of the Present Tide" on Wujin Road supports the screen in front of the century-old Shikumen building. In particular, nearly a hundred years ago, the first open-air summer film screening in Shanghai took place on this road, across the street. According to the Hongkou Cultural Chronicle, the address of Shanghai's first open-air cinema theater was screened on July 13, 1924, at Laojianzi Road (now No. 119 Wujin Road, next door to Zhao Tongji Garden on Beihe South Road). What's more special is that last night here welcomed a special audience - 90 sanitation workers who are usually responsible for cleaning work along North Sichuan Road were invited to watch the 4K restored version of The movie "New Can't Love" directed by Er Dongsheng, which tells the love story of ordinary people. "These urban beauticians, with their hard work and sweat in exchange for the cleanliness and beauty of our city, they should also fully enjoy the charm of light and shadow in this summer wind and the temperature of the city." The person in charge of the organizer said.

At six o'clock last night, the sky was still very bright, and the sanitation workers' door reached the gate of "Lane 8 of this tide". In accordance with the epidemic prevention and control process, they entered in an orderly manner and waited quietly for the screening to begin. Before they entered, the venture capital sharing and nomination event for the documentary unit of the Golden Jubilee Awards of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival was held here. Seeing this special audience, documentarians from all over the world have taken out their mobile phones to take pictures, write microblogs, and send circles of friends. Someone said: "It is said that the plot of the documentary comes from life, and this is the best record!" Some people also said: "The summer breeze is habitual, and the warmth is melting." This can especially reflect the Shanghai International Film Festival and the pattern of the city of Shanghai, and the atmosphere is warm and warm. Another said: "In such a space, for sanitation workers to carefully prepare such a special screening, this is the building can be read, the neighborhood is suitable for strolling, the city always has the most vivid portrayal of the temperature."

Reporter's note| improve a little bit every day
The Screening of the Shanghai International Film Festival is not the first year to be done, but it is done more solidly, more meticulously and more effectively than the previous year.
This year, Huimin Screening has entered one "new city" after another, and the coverage has been wider. This year, 21 films and 14 televisions with humanistic care and close to the lives of the people have been selected, and 70 film screenings and 25 television screenings have been conducted, with richer genres and more diverse themes. This year, the scheduling and screening strive to bring the audience more sense of gain and greater satisfaction. Yesterday, in addition to organizing a special screening of sanitation workers, the Festival also invited the staff of the Health Commission to watch the TV documentary "First-level Response" about the anti-epidemic defense war at the Fengxian Museum.
"Today at the Fengxian Museum, chatting with an aunt, she has been paying attention to the screening of the film and television festival for several years, following the cultural cloud appointment every year, running from the city to Songjiang and then to Fengxian, today in the museum she is wearing a red dress and a pearl necklace." Xiao Wang happily shared with me the happiness of her work, "We benefit the people to screen, can be grounded or have a sense of ceremony." ”
Yes, light and shadow nourish the soul and warm the city. On star-studded summer nights, accompanied by the evening breeze and the sound of cicadas, in the most intimate way. (Sun Jiayin)
