N2  - Since the 2000s, geography and the movies has been the topic of many publications. Cinema is an issue for social sciences in the sense that it gives an access to collective representations and that some movies became major references of popular culture. It is of particular concern for Geography. Since its very beginning, cinema belongs to a visual culture, which has much in common with Geography. Indeed, the cinematic experience has by essence to do with displacement. Geography could identify four types of cinematic space : diegetic, scenographic, pictorial and spectatorial. Analyzing the complex interlinking between these is of major importance not only for understanding cinema but also for understanding the spatialities of societies where screens are everywhere. Geographers working on cinema often follow an approach much similar to film studies, considering the movies as immanent objects, and analyzing them in terms of imaginative geographies. A more comprehensive geography of cinema could also bring attention to the material conditions of the production and the consumption of the movies, showing how diverse audiences may provide different interpretations, and feel different sensations and emotions
