The finalists in the same category as the Belsat series include the Czech production "No Big Deal" and the Spanish production "Dieciocho" (Eighteen). The festival winner will be chosen by an international jury which includes Besmir Godolja from Albania, Petra Chaloupková from the Czech Republic, Sophia Synodinos from France, Beate Bramstedt from Germany, Ke-Ren Wang from Switzerland, and Polish member of the jury Bartłomiej Makowski. In total, 252 programs were submitted to the festival.

Prix Italia was established 76 years ago. Initially, it honored radio creators, but in 1957 television categories were added, and in 1998, Internet categories were included. In previous years, the award went to, among others, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergmann, Françoise Sagan, and Umberto Eco.

"Processes" is Belsat's first original television series produced in 2023. The title refers to the processes in Belarus in recent years - judicial, political, and social - which make the state ruled by Alyaksandr Lukashenka appear brutal and grotesque at the same time. Andrei Kashperski and Mikhail Zui wrote the script.
