# 46 - in conversations with film producer from Belarus, Leonid Kalitenya.
From October 10 to October 13, 2023, the Belarusian Filmmakers’ Network jointly with SMartDE conducted a conference for young Belarusian directors and producers in Berlin. The event was dedicated to the socialization and professional integration of freelance Belarusian filmmakers in the German and EU film industries.
During the podcast, Leonid talks about his work as a film producer and his involvement in various projects aimed at bringing independent Belarusian cinema to international audiences, as well as supporting the filmmakers - many of whom have been living in exile since May 2020.
