A continuing work-in-progress list of films from around the world, listed alphabetically by the English name of the country.

I look for films primarily produced and filmed in the country they depict and try to avoid colonialist depictions, but include multiple regions, topics, and perspectives where I can find them.

The comment below each film lists the country depicted, languages primarily spoken in the film, and then other notes, where relevant.
