Movies filmed in Calais

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Calais 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.

Set here

Anime that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason. The rows marked per its source work are placed by the book they adapt rather than by a statement of their own.
