Many ink wells have already been exhausted writing about Venice in film, but these studies were primarily historical. We take the following approach: the story of the imaginary; we believe it is the gateway to an aesthetic view of some interpretations of Venetian space as represented in fiction films. Chosen for their versatility but also for their possible interconnections, the images in our filmography lead us towards an analysis of varied space shots and space editing. Our approach, committed to both spiritual and material reports as results and unconscious meanings between the creator and Venice, traces the sensitivity seen in each of the films concerned. With this sensitivity, we want to better understand the conditions of a poetics of urban and Venetian space through film, but also the status of fiction for its audience. We consider objectively all the platitudes and the anti-mythic visions of the city, because the spectacular, the everyday and discovery are all part of its nature. We are simply trying to understand how images in film and their stories can move towards a clearer definition of Venice as a "place” in film for both their observers and their authors.
