Movie Scene Map Launches Interactive Atlas of 15,535 Filming Locations

Interactive Filming Location Atlas

Movie Scene Map has released a free interactive map that catalogs 15,535 real filming locations across 166 countries. This atlas includes studios, castles, streets, and landscapes used for films and television series. Users can pan and zoom the map, click on points for photographs, and view productions shot at specific locations.

Comprehensive Production Coverage

The map features 9,262 films and series with dedicated pages. Additionally, it includes 2,153 video games, 407 anime, and 366 manga, with their locations based on where their stories are set. The platform also ranks cities and regions by the volume of productions filmed within them and highlights widely covered productions based on Wikipedia language editions.

Open Data Foundation

Movie Scene Map is constructed from open data sources. Its core data comes from filming location statements on Wikidata, linked with coordinates, photographs from Wikimedia Commons, and Wikipedia articles. The project also incorporates locations named in production-specific Wikipedia articles or categorized by editors. The data is curated, not scraped from listicles, and is not generated.

Data Accessibility and Contribution

The entire atlas is available for free download in GeoJSON or CSV formats under a CC0 license. A read-only MCP endpoint is also provided for AI assistants to query live data. Users can contribute missing film locations by adding statements to Wikidata items, which will then appear in the map during subsequent rebuilds.
