| Abstract: | The author, seeking to demonstrate that cartography can make significant contributions to the space-time paradigm in geography, outlines principles for the compilation of “map-movies,” i.e., the photographing of maps depicting the same area for different, sequential points in time, onto the frames of motion picture film. In particular, the experience accumulated during the compilation of a map-movie depicting the dynamics of the condition of landscapes in the Georgian SSR from January 1 to April 8, 1986 is described, as are the general findings of tests designed to determine how map readers perceive such motion picture images.
