Film tourism represents a large part of the global tourism industry and its targeted audience is still growing. The reason behind it, is the fact that for a wide range of people, the characters of a story, its events, which take place in altered realities, are the reason to travel. As a result, all the above are transformed into a tourist product. This article aims to highlight the dynamics of film tourism as well as the large percentage of its economic, cultural, anthropological, political and cultural impact in a country. This will be achieved by presenting a case study concerning the city of Matera and even smaller villages such as Sassi, which through the awareness of literal and then cinematic works written about them, managed to have the publicity and attention they deserved and as a result, these areas not only recovered financially but also improved the living standards of their inhabitants.
