contents Confining glassy polymer into films can substantially modify their local and film-averaged properties. We present a lattice model of film geometry with void-mediated facilitation behaviors but free from any elasticity effect. We analyze the spatially varying viscosity to delineate the transport property of glassy films. The film mobility measurements reported by [Yang et. al., Science, 2010, 328, 1676] are successfully reproduced. The flow exhibits a crossover from simple viscous flow to a surface-dominated regime as temperature decreases. The propagation of a highly mobile front induced by the free surface is visualized in real space. Our approach provides a microscopic treatment of the observed glassy phenomena.
