Abstract

This project seeks to contribute to the scientific areas of Geography and Cinema from the concept of geographic space, language, and cinema semiotics. We'll discuss how movies take possession of reality and how the representation of objective spaces is modified in film production to meet specific interests or help deepen the understanding of a certain reality.
