Film World Map

About Film World Map

Film World Map is an interactive world map of all filming locations, built from open Wikidata records.

Who is behind this site?

Film World Map is built and maintained by Emil Björk, an independent developer based in Sweden. The site grew out of a passion for maps, travel and open data, alongside a professional background in IT consulting.

How it works

Every location is fetched from the Wikidata Query Service, deduplicated, tagged by country and stored as a static GeoJSON file — no database, instant to load. Click any point to see a description from Wikipedia, a photo from Wikimedia Commons (or Mapillary as a fallback) and, where available, its Google rating.

Data freshness

The dataset is automatically refreshed once a month from Wikidata via a scheduled GitHub Action, so the map stays current as the world is mapped.
