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.
Do you have any preferred method for submitting missing data? Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), The Shipping News (2001), and The Grand Seduction (2013) were all filmed in Newfoundland.
Thanks for the suggetsions!
I have a system where I fetch feedback from comments or feedback from internet, where I sometimes do changes on the site and credit the user. https://thefilmmap.com/changelog/
The feedback gets verified before implemented on the site.
Some might not have wikidata yet, so that is an another problem where it needs to get that sortet out. I am also working on making parsing wikidata better and better.
