Summary/Abstract: While creating mise-en-scene in cinema, an important role assigned to space. We can call the space, unless we think place limitedly as a place whose spatial boundaries are defined, on which the story takes place as space. Spaces are elements that make great contributions to the creation of meaning in cinema. Sometimes there are examples where venues are given leading roles in cinema. It is thought that films that include social housing as space can be evaluated from a socio-economic and political perspective. Public housing has been built in our country as well as in the world, and the construction of these houses has revealed both administrative and socio-economic problems. This situation, of course, has been reflected in cinema as a subject. In this study, the movie C Blok (1994), written and directed by Zeki Demirkubuz, and Rüya (2016), written and directed by Derviş Zaim, which are two films in which social housing critically discussed in cinema, are divided into titles that can be examined with content analysis and subjected to descriptive analysis. In addition, in these films, Foucault’s concepts of “The Great Closure” and “Heterotopia” were traced, and with an ideologically subjective point of view, the view that social dwellings are places where isolation, domination and governance are functional, has been tried to be supported.
