- Pedro Bandeira-Freire was born on August 2, 1939 in Lisbon, Portugal. He was a writer and actor, known for El Contrato (2009), Cos(z)ido à Portuguesa (1993) and Ballad of dog beach (1987). He died on April 16, 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal.
- Once, he was member of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival. At Quarteto, his cinema complex in Lisbon, he revealed to the Portuguese public authors like Jacques Rivette, Jean-Luc Godard, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Martin Scorsese, before they were the big names they are today.
- He started the first multiplex (four cinemas) compound in Lisbon, Portugal, November 21, 1975, and he surrendered the keys to the City Council one month before his death, recognizing that he had no money to introduce the structural innovations imposed by new regulations, and there was not enough public for the 'marginal cinema' he cared for.
