Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Sydney

1 production shot at 4 places inside Sydney, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Sydney itself.

Set here

Video games and Anime that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, 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.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Sydney, 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.
