with Per Sundinwas highly appreciatedby Ingmar Bergmanand ever since
then they havedevelopeda very intenseand deepprofessionairelationship.
Mr. Bergmanhasnot acceptedto work with any other lighting director for
his productionssincethen. For the first time sinceworking with Sven
Nyquist he had found someoneto work and discussthe importanceof light
with and for whom he had the greatestconfidenceandrespectin his
profession.
When SARABAND, the very last work by Ingmar Bergman,was to be
produced,the participationof Per Sundinas lighting director was one of the
principal conditionsrequestedby Mr. Bergman.This HDTV productionhas
beenhighly recognizedall over the world, not leastby its excellentlighting

To whom it may concern
I shall hereby confirm that Per Sundin did the entire lighting design of the Eurovision Song
Contest 2008 in Belgrade, for both the final and the two semi-finals. The three programs reached
a European audience of more than 105 million viewers and was the greatest ever European nonsport TV event.
He managed to present the same stage and stage design in the three programs so differently and
artistically brilliant, that the three shows performed in a totally different manner, each with their
own characteristics.
Per is one of the best lightning designers in the global TV world of today. It has been a big asset
and honour for the European Broadcasting Union to work with Per. He has the strongest
professional recommendations from the Eurovision team and management.

We would like to thank you in the name of the EBU and especially on behalf of Ruurd

involvement in the often complicated preparations was very much appreciated.
You have contributed strongly to the traditions of the 49 year old story of the Eurovision
