Overview
- The European Broadcasting Union published the 70th‑anniversary tribute film on Eurovision’s official YouTube channel on May 24, making the programme available to a global audience.
- EBU commissioned Swiss broadcaster RSI to restore the only known surviving 1956 recording of winner Lys Assia, footage shot by Vincenzo Vicari at the Teatro Kursaal in Lugano.
- The short film compiles emotional moments from seven decades, is set to Ingrid Peters’ 1986 song "Über Die Brücke Geh’n," and includes clips from the 1950s, 1960s and this year’s contest.
- Eurofan Voice, a fan survey launched alongside the film, is collecting audience feedback to inform future Eurovision production and fan experience decisions.
- The release links Eurovision’s origins in May 1956 to the recent Vienna contest, which delivered Bulgaria’s first win and was covered in media for boycotts and voting‑rule changes, underscoring the organisers’ focus on preservation and engagement.
