Examines the purpose that place serves in films
What purpose does place serve in films? When it is not just a background to actions, or indistinguishable from the landscape, or a simple space to walk through, a kind of neutral territory? Such filmmakers as Chantal Akerman, Lisandro Alonso, Pedro Costa, Bruno Dumont, Bla Tarr, Avi Mograbi, Tariq Teguia, Philippe Grandrieux, Danile Huillet & Jean-Marie Straub andSharunas Bartas, chose not to focus solely the cinematic narration on the fate of the characters. They showed telluric spatialities, inhabited territories, existential matrices where ways of doing and of living were mobilized, where forces of emancipation and existential weaknesses were carried out. Welcoming rooms, remarkable transitions, havens for individual and communal destinies: place in cinema sometimes implies the insecurity of an unfinished project, sometimes the solidity of fortifications.The Sense of Place in Cinemademonstrates the importance of place and its aesthetic potentialitiesin film.
