Sıradan bir kasaba olan Ankara Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin başkenti olduğunda ciddi bir planlama deneyimine sahne olur. Yeni rejimin temsil mekânı haline gelen yeni başkent, modern mimarisi ve Cumhuriyeti simgeleyen yapılarıyla, tarihsel olarak Cumhuriyet’le de özdeşleşir. Cumhuriyet’i temsil eden Ulus Meydanı ise hem kentin en önemli meydanlarından biridir hem de Cumhuriyet ideolojisi ile ulusal ideallerin biçimlendiği en itibarlı kentsel mekânlardandır. Daha önce de önemli bir merkez olan Ulus Meydanı, Ankara başkent olduğunda önemli bir değişim geçirmiştir. Başkent Ankara’nın en önemli temsil mekanlarından olan Ulus Meydanı, Cumhuriyetle beraber adeta başkalaşım geçirir. Cumhuriyetin ilk ve en önemli merkezi olan meydanın zamanla değiştiğini ve şekillendiğini rahatlıkla söyleyebiliriz. Bu çalışma Ulus meydanının değişim öyküsünü filmler ve tarihsel veriler aracılığıyla incelemeyi, meydanı ve söz konusu değişimi filmler üzerinden tanımlamayı hedeflemektedir. Sinema ve kent sıklıkla ilişkilendirilmiştir; çünkü modern kentle var olan sinema sanatı kentle etkileşim içindedir. İnsanların yaşam biçimlerini etkileyen sinema yaşam ve kent örüntüleriyle de şekillenir. Anlattıkları hikâyelerle kenti kaydeden filmler, aynı zamanda geçmişe tanıklık eden tarihsel bir belgedir. Bu bağlamda, Ankara Ulus Meydanında geçen filmler aracılığıyla bir kent yorumu sunan bu çalışma Ankara kent belleğine bir katkı yapmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle kentin dönüşümü tespit edilmiştir. Ardından Ankara Ulus Meydanında geçen filmler üzerinden, tarihsel verilerle karşılaştırmalı olarak, meydanın değişim öyküsü tanımlanmıştır.
