One of the most important aims of Film is to frame the Space on the flat screen. Film history as seen from the point of view of both audience and filmmakers will be our hand in this pursuit. Ranging from Soviet montage school to Andre Basin and French New Wave, from D. W. Griffith to TV era we will analyze what influence narration has on film space or the other way round, how space is connected with narrative elements. In this regard, we will discuss the following aspects: how space expands the Film, what kind of space exists in the cinema, and how space appears in the Film until the moment when it disappears.
