Do you ever go somewhere, and have a strong emotional response to it, such as happiness, nostalgia or fear? Have you ever wondered why we look for meaning in places and develop stories or legends about them over time? Well these behaviours are known as a sense of place. In general, a sense of place describes our relationship with places, expressed through the tangible and intangible aspects of human life: emotions, imagination, sound, touch, smell, and personal experiences. Sense of place can be a niche yet broad term, so the aim of this podcast is to bring together the variety of disciplines & creative individuals that try to understand and explore a sense of place!

What with it being the festive season, today’s episode is a family affair, as I chat to my brother Liam all about Sense of Place in Film and TV! Liam has always been into films, having a great appreciation for them as an art form, and he is now studying Film at University. Something we used to love doing at Christmas is sit down and watch a series we got on DVD with loads of festive snacks which was always fun!
In today’s episode we have a chat about the following:
• The origins of ‘A Sense of Place’ in film through travel logs.
• The importance slow cinema and animation play in creating a sense of place.
• How our identities are tied to place and the ways this is presented in film.
• How the environment of a film can suggest things about a character’s personality.
• The influence Film and TV has in making people want to visit a location, and the positives and negatives this creates for places through increased tourism.
