Towns & cities
Bruges

city in West Flanders, Belgium
“Belgian exteriors were shot on location in Bruges, while the novel was set in Ghent.” Wikipedia
Also per Wikipedia's article
The article names 5 more places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Yakusu Democratic Republic of the Congo
“The film The Nun's story starring Audrey Hepburn was partially shot at Yakusu in 1958.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Its Wikipedia article also names Belgian Congo as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
