I did not catalog it, but this is from our local record for Pennies From Heaven:

500:    $a Filmed partly in Galena, Illinois.

655:    7 $a Galena (Ill) $x Filming location. $2 local

See http://bit.ly/199wPxy and http://bit.ly/GHIcV9.

My library is in nearby Dubuque, Iowa, so for clarification I wrote this 
article:

Pennies from Heaven Was Not Filmed in Dubuque
http://www.dubuque365.com/ArticleDetailsPage/tabid/65/ArticleID/609/Pennies-from-Heaven-Was-Not-Filmed-in-Dubuque.aspx

I think the distinction between where a film was shot and where it is set is 
important, like you say.

Subject: [Videolib] Subject heading for movies filmed locally

Hello all,

I've been asked to indicate in the bibliographic record that a movie was filmed 
locally. Besides putting it in a note field, is there an established subject 
heading (examples?) that would indicate local filming locations? Often, 
Humboldt County is standing in for another place entirely, and we don't want to 
mislead patrons into thinking the movie is ABOUT Humboldt County, just that it 
was filmed here. What's a guy to do?

between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
