The TV series "Quiet Center" is expected to be released in the end of the year. Shooting of the TV-series "Quiet Center" based on the novel of Belarusian TV and radio host Tamara Lisitskaya are about to finish in Minsk. As it turned out, the movie company "Belarusfilm" suggested putting the novel on screen, and Tamara Lisitskaya wrote the screen play herself. Belarusian Renata Hrytskova became the director of the series. Last year she directed psychological drama "Insight" starring Bogdan Stupka and Iryna Razanava. It is worth mentioning that both author and director are delighted with each other's work.

Renata Hrytskova: "It is pure delight to work with Tamara, as she is very easy to contact, flexible and amazingly talented. Thus, we always manage to find areas of common interest and we both are convinced that arguments only inmprove the quality of the final product".

As it was informed by Tamara Lisitskaya to the European Radio for Belarus, students of the Academy of Arts acted in the series together with celebrities.

Tamara Lisitskaya: "Russian actors Maxim Radugin, Varvara Andreeva, Ukrainian Astap Stupka are legioners. There are also many Belarusian actors, whom I long observed - Tamara Mironava, Sviatlana Anikej, and also several students of the Academy of Arts".

It is interesting that Tamara Lisitskaya has some acting experience herself, as she was engaged in a TV-series "A Week in the Women's Baths" of Dzmitry Astrakhan. However, she did not go for audition for a part in the "Quiet Center". However, we will in the end see the author in one of the episodes - she will talk to Belarusian celebrities.

Tamara Lisitskaya: "There will be a club session with famous people of the Belarusian show-business in one of the episodes. I made an offer to all of them and everyone accepted it. Now it's important to clarify whether they have time, so I cannot tell you exactly who is going to be there".

Tamara added that only a few weeks are left till the end of shootings. It is planned to show it to the audience closer to New Year, but no concrete date has been announced yet, as they don't have agreements with TV-Channels by now.

Tamara Lisitskaya: "We have several weeks left for shootings. Then the director will get down to assembling in October, and sound dubbing will last till December. December and January - time to show it to the audience. It will be shown on the Belarusian TV, and we hope it will be also exported to Russia and Ukraine".

According to Renata Hrytskova, they also plan to participate in movie festivals with the "Quiet Center", apart from showing it in the neighbouring countries.

Renata Hrytskova: "Festivals of TV-movies are totally in our competence, so we will agree to any invitation, as the invitations usually arrive from them. It is our business to show a movie, and their business to watch and pick. I think we can do it".

Let us add, that the events of the 4 series of "Quiet Center" take place in our times in Minsk. Different people live in an old quiet house: an unrequired musician, a businessman-emigrant, a photo model, a former actress who is slowly going insane, an artist sick in Down's syndrome, a drug addict, a loser of a producer, a cleaner sick in alcoholism, a local TV-star etc. Each of them has his or her own story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, the stories interwine with each other during the movie, which spices up the plot.
