Cinema, as one of the most important tools for creating narrative, abundantly uses the city space as a platform for its storytelling; because cinema inherently needs space, and it is only through the capacity of space that it can tell its story. Based on this principle, this study seeks to answer two central questions. First, in general, what are the characteristics of cities which represented in Iranian movies in terms of its audience, and second, what are the characteristics of the urban space in Isfahan which represented in Iranian movies. In order to answer these questions, qualitative method and interview technique were used. By conducting 12 interviews and achieving theoretical saturation, data coding was done and findings were analyzed. The findings indicated that the city represented in the cinema has characteristics such as “a turbulent, crowded and polluted space, A space with romantic fantasies; Expanded space in surface and height; A space with the possibility of secret appointments; The revealer space of class conflict; “ a space full of violence and insecurity But in relation to the representation of the city of Isfahan, features such as soothing, slow, historical, calm, with an old and enclosed body were mentioned, and is far from the existing reality.
