Sumario:Cinema is one of the artistic representations that have been most studied in Geography, especially as a teaching resource. However, many interpretations made by geographers focus on the analysis of the narrative, that is, how the film's story deals with geographical themes of interest. In this article, we will present authors who perform a geographical analysis of cinema by incorporating a set of notions that make up the cinematographic language, thus expanding the interpretative possibility of this medium. Cinematographic representation has a language, that is, a rich set of codes and conventions that produce meanings beyond the narrative. Therefore, understanding the role of cinematographic elements such as framing, angle, and camera movement, among others, is crucial to understanding the production of filmic spatiality. The landscape, with its aesthetic and representational, meanings will be taken as a mediating concept in the approximation between Geography and Cinema, between the representation and the experience of space.
