I got tired of searching “where was this filmed” and landing on listicles, so I built the map instead. Search a title to see where it was shot, or search a place to see what was made there.
2,538 locations, 4,214 films and series. It is all built from Wikidata, one statement per pin, so every card links back to the source and you can check me.
It is honest about what it does not know, which no listicle is. 938 productions are recorded only at country level and the page says so. Gladiator is Malta and Morocco and nothing finer. Casablanca resolves to California. It also never claims which scene was shot where, because filming records do not carry that.
430 video games are on there too, placed by where they are set rather than shot, because a game is filmed nowhere.
If you find that extracting data from IMDB is a pain, then check out TMDB (“The Movie Database”), they have a proper public API. I used it for a recent little project of mine called Two degrees of separation.
Thanks for the suggestion! I am going to go outside today before sitting down in the evening to continue on this project. I will see which databases will be applied for Filmmap.
