Movies and TV series filmed in Baku

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Baku as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Baku

1 production shot at 9 places inside Baku, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Baku itself.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Baku, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
