The Film Map

The film map is a street map loosely based on vintage style Los Angeles street maps and made up of over 900 film titles including cinema classics such as Lost Highway, On the Waterfront, Jurassic Park, Reservoir Dogs, Carlito’s Way, Nightmare on Elm Street, Valley of the Dolls and Chinatown. The Map has its own Hollywood Boulevard and includes districts dedicated to Hitchcock and Cult British Horror movies and – like most cities – it also has its own Red Light area. There’s also an A-Z key at the base of the Map listing all the films featured with their release dates and names of the directors and you can buy a 60 x 80cm print here.
