RESUMO

The experience of watching movies in the contemporary world is a geographical experience. This is the major argument of this Thesis, which aimed to study the residences and echoes founded in the movie "The Village" directed by Mc Night Shyamalan. The methodological path was accomplished through the interpretation of interactions from spatial dimensions - of and in the movie -, and the cultural universe that existing beyond it made by allusions - bridges of meaning- between places created by nature and social speeches, and local places in the movie that gained there their existences. Thus, that was when the insertion of utopian thought happened in this research. From that we built the film s territory based on the relationships between places, now identified by the narrative structure that has been given by the movie itself namely village, Forest and City. We tried to understand how each of them is sustained in the movie and how the movie itself updates that way of thinking about space. That allowed us to discuss which implications and other images - mediated by the education of visual memory - are tributaries of this thought. We approached images, intensified senses, that when contaminated some began to say the others. These were the geographies which gained existence in this Thesis
