Movie Scene Map is a free interactive map of 15,535 real filming locations in 166 countries: the studios, castles, streets and landscapes where films and television series were shot. Pan and zoom the map above, click any point for a photograph and the productions shot there, or open a place’s page for everything filmed in it. Beside the 9,262 films and series with a page of their own sit 2,153 video games, 407 anime and 366 manga, placed by where their stories are set, because nothing is filmed in a drawn world.

Movie Scene Map is built from open data. The backbone is the filming location statements on Wikidata, joined to each place’s coordinates, its photograph on Wikimedia Commons and its Wikipedia article. Beside them sit places named in a production’s own Wikipedia article, or by the setting categories its editors file it under, and those are labelled per Wikipedia wherever they appear, because a sentence is weaker evidence than a statement and the two are never mixed. Nothing is scraped from listicles and nothing is generated.
The atlas is curated, not complete. A production earns a page once enough Wikipedia editions cover it, and a country that looks empty means sparse Wikidata coverage, never that nothing was filmed there. Missing a film you know? Add a filming location statement to its Wikidata item, with a source, and it appears here at the next rebuild and in every other project reading that data. The five steps are on the missing page, and the work list names the productions where one edit would do it.
The whole atlas is free to download as GeoJSON or CSV, CC0, and the same page describes the read only MCP endpoint that answers these questions live for AI assistants. Every change, including the mistakes, is in the changelog, and the about page says what the data is and what it leaves out.
Movie Scene Map is a free interactive map of 15,535 real filming locations in 166 countries: the studios, castles, streets and landscapes where films and television series were shot, plus the real places video games, anime and manga are set in. Search a title to see where it was made, or a place to see what was made there.
15,535 places across 166 countries, attached to 9,262 films and series, 2,153 video games, 407 anime and 366 manga with a page of their own. The count moves with every rebuild from Wikidata, and the changelog records each one.
Filming location statements on Wikidata, joined to each place’s coordinates, photograph and Wikipedia article. Beside them, and labelled per Wikipedia wherever they appear, sit places named in a production’s own Wikipedia article or by the setting categories its editors file it under. Nothing is scraped from listicles and nothing is generated.
That the claim rests on a sentence or a category in Wikipedia rather than on a Wikidata statement. A sentence is weaker evidence than a statement, so the two are never mixed, and every such row names the exact section or category it came from.
No. A game is rendered and an anime or a manga is drawn, so none of them was filmed anywhere. The atlas places them by where their story is set, from Wikidata’s narrative location and from Wikipedia’s setting categories, and every page about one says set in rather than filmed in.
Coverage follows Wikidata, and it is uneven. Some famous productions carry no filming location statement at all, and some carry one so coarse that it names a whole country, which this atlas reports as text rather than placing a pin. The work list on the gaps page names the productions where one edit would fix it.
Yes, upstream. Add a filming location statement to the production’s Wikidata item, with a source, and the place appears here at the next rebuild and in every other project reading that data. The five steps are on the missing page.
Yes. No account, no advertising, no paywall. The whole atlas is also downloadable as GeoJSON and CSV under CC0, and a read only MCP endpoint answers the same questions live for AI assistants.
