|f Time is a subject which has preoccupied those concerned with the cinema and television field for a long time. That is because it occupies a major significance within scientific studies, including those related to humanity. Since Adam was created, he would query about the time and its relationship with place. Did time exist before the place or did both come into being together? What is the relationship of one with the other and what is the nature of the relationship of one with the other? The significance is central in relation to the historical film, as the historical film addresses an incident or event that actually occurred in a specific time and place. The contemporary film attempts to deal with space-time with an aspect of the contemporary in its presentation. As such, did it accomplish this balance between the restrictions of the incident and the influences of the contemporary styles and approaches and its view towards dealing with the film space-time, with an up to date style? The problem of the research is that the historical film must present an event which is specified by time and place. How then can there be balance between what the new frame of looking into this matter obliges and what the nature of the historical realities have specified in terms of time and place information? The aim of the research was to reveal the nature of space-time in relation to the contemporary historical film. The research has been divided into sections. The first chapter addresses a methodological framework and includes the problem of the research, its significance, its objectives, its confines and the specifying of its terminologies. The second section deals with the theoretical framework and previous studies. It has been divided into three study topics: The first topic: It discusses the time and place and what has been presented in terms of opinions related to it, from the past and recent times, in addition to addressing time within cinema and television, how it is embodied, what the categories of time are and what are the modern theories explaining time? That is in addition to dealing with the place in its description as being an element from among the cinematic language elements and the great influence that it has in relation to the historical film. As for the second topic, then it looks into the space-time concept and that is the relationship between the time and the place, in addition to how this concept had been discussed. That is in addition to addressing this concept from the contemporary perspective and especially as we live in the post-modern era. As for the third topic, then in the beginning, the historical film is defined. That is in addition to examining space-time within the historical film from the beginning of film production until some other historical films made in the current time-period. The researcher then brought some indicators which he applied and utilized as a tool to analyse the sample and this was in the fourth section. As for the third section, then this dealt with the procedures of the research, its methodological approaches and its tools.\nThe fourth section: It dealt with analysing a research sample, through some indicators which were applied as a tool for sample analysis. As for the fifth section, then it contained the results, extrapolations, recommendations and proposals of the research which the researcher concluded. These were:\n1 - The producers, in respect to their dealing with the historical events upon a specific psychological time, were concerned with the recipient and the nature of how he received the event.\n2 - The contemporary historical film depends upon the place-based transition detached from the time-based pursuance of the event.\n3 - The contemporary historical film did not neglect the time and place of the event but rather presented it within a new vision.\n4 - The contemporary historical film employed modern techniques to embody the time and place. \nThat was in addition to the presentation of extrapolations, recommendations, proposals and list of reference sources.\nThis abstract translated by Dar AlMandumah Inc. 2018
