    Abstract

    The chapter draws upon a selection of works from Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai. Following his trajectory from theatrical films to installation pieces, the text addresses the spatial turn in film studies showing how this serves as a key shift in thinking space as it is represented on the big screen as well as it is built through the moving images in the museum. The concept of the home is employed as a figure to study spatiality in association with belonging and subjectivity, and it is taken as a cue to develop a reflection on the medium specificity of moving images as they enter art spaces.
