That Film Spot is a film and television location database dedicated to the real places seen on screen.
Films and TV series are shot everywhere: famous landmarks, city streets, hotels, restaurants, beaches, bridges, houses, shops, railway stations, car parks and countless places that most people would otherwise pass without a second thought. That Film Spot connects those real-world locations with the productions and scenes that made use of them.
The aim is to make filming locations easy to identify and understand. Each location is connected to the films and television series known to have been filmed there, while individual entries explain how the place was used on screen. This makes it possible to approach the database from either direction: find the locations used in a particular film or series, or discover which productions have filmed at a particular place.
That Film Spot goes beyond simply listing addresses. Location pages can include photographs, maps, background information and descriptions of the scenes filmed there, while film and television pages bring their known filming locations together in one place. Locations can also be explored by city, country and geographical area.
Registered users can keep track of their own film-location travels by marking places as “Been here” or “Want to go”. These features make it possible to build a personal record of locations already visited and save others for future trips.
Some filming locations are internationally recognised attractions. Others are ordinary buildings, streets or businesses whose connection to a particular scene may be known only to dedicated fans. Both are part of what That Film Spot documents. A location does not need to be spectacular in its own right to have an interesting place in film or television history.
Accuracy is an important part of the project. Entries are researched with the aim of identifying genuine filming locations and describing their on-screen use as precisely as possible. Filming information can occasionally be incomplete, disputed or difficult to verify, so corrections, additional details and well-sourced tips are always welcome.
Many filming locations remain working businesses, private homes or places where people live their everyday lives. That Film Spot encourages anyone visiting a location to respect private property, residents, staff, local restrictions and access rules. Being featured on the site does not necessarily mean that a location is open to the public.
The database continues to grow as new films, television series and locations are researched and added. The goal is to build a detailed and useful record of where films and television were made — from instantly recognisable landmarks to the obscure corners of the world that appeared on screen for only a few seconds.
