This paper aims examine if the visual cartographic culture, present in the training of Geography teachers manifests itself in the choices of films used as imagery resources in Geography classes. Different approaches to studies on the connections between cartography and cinema were identified and systematized, constituting a framework about the mapping impulse and detailing Castro's approach (2015) that distinguishes cartographic forms or cinematographic expressions from the mapping impulse: panoramas, aerial views and atlas. Three of the most cited Brazilian films mentioned by teachers participating in the research, of different genres, namely, “Central do Brasil”, “Encontro com Milton Santos: o mundo global visto do lado de cá” and “Ilha das Flores”, were selected and analyzed under the light of the cinematographic expressions of the mapping impulse. We concluded that it is possible that the mapping impulse influences the choices of films to be used by Geography teachers in the classroom, indicating the strength of the visual culture of cartography, which may induce the use of cliché images that limit students to think about the space from other possibilities.
