Cinema of Africa — The first film produced in Africa was not the Egyptian film 'Barsoum Looking for a Job' (1923); the first Egyptian fiction film is generally considered to be 'The Bedouin's Honor' (1912) or 'The Dead Flower' (1918), and earlier indigenous productions exist.
Cinema of Africa — The claim that the Lumière brothers screened films in 'Libya' in 1896 is unsubstantiated; historical records of Lumière screenings in 1896 typically list Alexandria, Cairo, Tunis, and possibly other locations, but Libya is not a confirmed site for 1896 screeni
Cinema of Australia — The entry states that the first public film screenings in Australia happened in October 1896, but the correct date is 22 August 1896.
Cinema of Australia — The DID YOU KNOW section claims the Limelight Department was 'the largest film-producer of its time,' which is an exaggeration and not widely accepted as fact.
Cinema of Canada — The entry states that the earliest recorded Canadian feature film is *Evangeline*, but earlier feature-length films such as *The Great Canadian Railroad* (1912) or *The Battle of the Long Sault* (1912) exist, making the claim factually incorrect if interpreted
Cinema of Canada — The entry says 'Shipman produced the most expensive film made up to that time,' which is unsubstantiated and contradicts established film history, as no Ernest Shipman film is widely recognized as the most expensive film up to that time in Canadian or global c
Cinema of Egypt — The claim that 'in the 1950s, Egypt's cinema industry was the world's third largest' is not supported by established film history; Egypt's industry was among the largest regionally but not definitively ranked third globally.

Cinema of Germany — The claim that German cinema has exactly 230 Oscar nominations and 54 wins is factually incorrect; no authoritative source supports these precise numbers.
Cinema of Greece — Missing (1982) is not a Greek film; it is an American film directed by Costa-Gavras, and the correct Greek Palme d'Or winner is Eternity and a Day (1998).
Cinema of Greece — The claim that Daphnis and Chloe (1931) contained 'the first voyeuristic nude scene in a European film' is not widely established canon and is likely exaggerated or incorrect.
