In order to compose theses reflections, the following films of different period and contexts are analyzed: The Man with a Movie Camera (Chelovek s Kino-Apparatom), directed by Dziga Vertov, 1929, Soviet Union. M , directed by Fritz Lang, 1931, Germany. The Trial , directed by Orson Welles, 1962, France, Italy and Germany. Mulholland Drive , directed by David Lynch, 2001, the USA. The research is justified by the opening of possibilities of epistemological and ontological discussions that come up from the relation between these two knowledge areas in the sense of contributing to the comprehension of the urban geographical life. The relations between the geographycity of the films (the spatiality of their images) and the geographycity in fact lived by the inhabitants of urban centers at the time of the production of the analyzed films.
