Human-space interaction is a cognitive process that exhibits various interactions depending on behavioral situations. In this sense, the theory of place attachment describes how memories, emotions, ideas, and personal preferences influence a person's sense of belonging to a place. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the important role that religion can have in the context of place attachment from a different perspective through a movie. The findings of the literature review indicate that the majority of research in the domains of architecture and interior architecture mostly concentrates on secular spaces, with a lack of studies examining religious spaces. Contrary to the limited research in the literature, the relationship between religious places and place attachment is illuminated by many indicators depicted in films. From a different viewpoint, the film analysis approach has been used to investigate the impact of religion on place attachment, as it is believed that the research has the potential to make valuable contributions to the existing literature. In the study, the movie "Baraka", which was produced in 2017, was considered. Through the events and dialogues in this film, in which different natural and physical environments are handled, the concept of place attachment has been compared comparatively with the existing literature, and its relationship with religion has been revealed. Based on a comparative analysis conducted with the existing literature, it has been observed that an individual's place attachment is influenced not only by the inherent characteristics of the place itself but also by various factors such as prayers, rituals, stories, symbols, personal experiences, and beliefs associated with the place.
