FilmMap
FilmMap is a free interactive map of 12,583 real
filming locations in 85 countries: the studios, castles, streets and
landscapes where films and television series were shot, and the real places video games are
set in. Search a title to see where it was made, or a place to see what was made there.
The backbone is filming location statements on Wikidata, joined to each place's
coordinates, photograph and Wikipedia article, plus places named in each production's own
Wikipedia article — those are always labelled “per Wikipedia”, because
a sentence is weaker evidence than a statement, and the two are never mixed. Nothing is
generated. Video games are the other exception, and the difference matters: a game is
filmed nowhere, so its places come from narrative location, meaning where the story is set.
The map needs JavaScript, but every page below it is plain HTML:
8,025 films and series,
1,342 video games,
12,583 locations,
filming locations by country, and
the 150 most famous scenes ever filmed on
location. Each has its own page, with photographs and the productions shot there.
