Cinema can be considered a useful tool for
understanding different geographic concepts,
showing physical and human factors and the
interactions between them. Andres Wood’s
film Football Stories explores the Chilean territory
allowing the observation of the differences
between the north and south of the
country. Geographic components such as landscapes,
architectures, the impact of anthropogenic
activities, social inequalities, ways of life,
and city and countryside differences are analyzed,
as well as the importance of location,
the spatial environment, and cinematic narration.
The study of geography through films
could contribute to understanding of our
world and to spatial knowledge.
