All the locations where footage was filmed for this year’s Eurovision postcards have been revealed. The postcards are the 40 second videos which are shown during the introduction of an entry. Some years the postcards are about the host country, other years they are about the country of the entrant, and during some years they are about a chose theme, i.e. the arts.
Partially remotely
This year’s postcards are filmed partially remotely. Some of the scenes were filmed on the most picturesque places in Italy, and others were filmed remotely in the entrants country of origin, sometimes in front of a green screen. Reason for the “remote” approach is probably to limit traveling to avoid a new outbreak of COVID-19. Last year, in Rotterdam, we also saw this approach; last year’s postcards were about the place we had all stayed in during the worldwide pandemic, and that was in our homes. Apart from all the locations where footage was shot, we do not know about this year’s postcards theme.
