Summary: Nowadays, our geographical imaginations are increasingly made up of images. In this scenario,
contemporary geography is increasingly concerned with image studies. Through the perspective
of Doreen Massey (2013), our paper proposes to think about the possibilities of interpretation
for the spatial politics of images. In this way, we deal with the sphere of thought, and thus
provoke ourselves to think about how images have power and reverberate in the construction
of geographical imaginations about space, about the world. In order to think about these issues,
we will engage in a dialog with cartographic expressions present in films. Through film
cartographies, this paper seeks to find clues to understanding visual culture in the encounter
between cartographic language and cinematographic language. In order to do this, the text is
divided into three parts. Firstly, we will look at visual studies in order to better understand the
visual culture present in society, geography and cartography. It's important to bring up the
dialog between geography and cinema, so we'll analyze the perspectives most often addressed
by scholars in the field. We then situate the studies of film cartographies among film
geographies and then conceptualize the term film cartographies, bringing together the main
concepts, perspectives and authors who dialogue on the subject. The last part of the paper is an
analysis of the encounter between cinema and cartography in the Brazilian films "De onde eu
te vejo" and "Todo mapa tem um discurso". We present strategies for looking at images through
cartographic expressions, the mapping impulse present in the films, and how these images affect
the construction of our geographical imaginaries.
