Resumo(s)
In Wim Wenders’ Lisbon Story (1994), a German sound engineer travels from Frankfurt to Lisbon
to help a friend finish a film about the city. Lisbon is at once traditional and modern. Blue sunny
skies, the reflecting waters of the river and the narrow alleys of the historical center are beautifully
framed and matched in the soundtrack by the melancholic music of Madredeus. The film
invites to the city the tourists that hadn’t yet arrived while highlighting the material and economic
progress still to come. Flash-forward 20 years, to Night Train to Lisbon (Bille August, 2013):
the light inundates the frame and presents us with a more preserved, picture-perfect Lisbon. It
is full of visitors and free of scaffolding, yet still very much attached to its past. If Lisbon Story
was made for a niche audience, Night Train to Lisbon had over 1.5 million viewers across Europe.
Whereas Lisbon Story was one of the few films shot in Lisbon in the 1990s, Night Train to Lisbon is
part of a wider media landscape and was filmed at a time when the city had become the setting
for Bollywood productions, German TV series and the music video for Shakira’s 2014 single
Dare. In June 2018, the Portuguese government approved a cash rebate scheme to encourage
the shooting of audiovisual productions in Portugal. As the number of visitors to the Portuguese
capital continues to grow, and this growth is matched by increasing filming permit requests,
what is Lisbon’s international screen image?
