- DirectorJoão Freire CorreiaThe badge of the Corpo de Bombeiros Municipais de Lisboa, with the motto "Sobre todas excelente e maiorial" (the best of all others) is shown in detail. At the corps headquarters, all the officers and chiefs of the corps pose for the camera as in a still anniversary photo. The action starts in a nameless street, when someone runs to warn a policeman of a fire in a building. They both run to a wall booth, the policeman opens it, takes the telephone and calls the fire brigade headquarters, where a permanency gives the alert. Sleeping in a dormitory, the firemen jump off their beds, dress their uniforms in no time, and descend to the garage via a sliding post (almost off camera). Two motorbikes with sidecar, two all purpose vehicles, an open truck with firemen, a water-tank vehicle, and a Magirus-Leiter truck leave headquarters and drive quickly to the house in fire - where different phases of a fire attack exercise are shown, from linking the hoses to water sources to saving people who jump from windows onto blankets held up by the firemen.

- DirectorJosé BarahonaStarsPaulo AzevedoRenata FerrazAmanda Fontoura"I was in Lisbon and remembered you" is a Brazil-Portugual co-production, based on the book by the prized Brazilian author Luiz Ruffato. The film was directed by the Portuguese director, José Barahona, who has also written the screenplay. Barahona has been living in Brazil for the last years. This is his first feauture filme. The shooting took place in the small town of Cataguases, Brazil and in Lisbon, Portugal. "In the beginning of this project, I wanted to do a documentary film based on this book by Luiz Ruffato. However, I ended up doing a feature film with many links to documentary. I wanted to know what made Brazilians want to emigrate to Portugal. I chose working with amateur actors and non-actors in both cities, so their own life stories and experiences could be in the film. I did the other way round from the writer. He found these people and made them characters of his book. I looked for people who had similar stories to those described in the book, and made them characters of my film. When I read the book, I was seduced by its "false documentary" characteristic. The book was all written as if it was the transcription of an oral interview the writer had done in Lisbon. I decided to keep this narrative in the film, by a narration with the main character talking to the camera. It's a film about emigration. About dreams and disappointments," says Barahona.
