Summary/Abstract: The article outlines a possibility of analyzing the spatial experience of the film character. The first part presents important theories of experienced space taken from philosophy, cultural geography and literature studies, while also noting a lack of such concepts in film theory. The second part aims to fill this gap and provide tools for the systematic analysis of spatial experience in film. Most importantly, the terms ‘widening world’ and ‘narrowed world’ are proposed and discussed using selected film examples.
