> Dear filmmakers and friends,
> 
> It has been a turbulent early spring for B2B Doc. The Russian aggression war in Ukraine is ongoing and we continue to do our best to support our Ukrainan colleagues, in the country and in exile. There is also intensity in our activities. April has included a trailer workshop in Wiesbaden and preparations are under way for the annual Launch Pad pitching event, which has been moved from Kyiv to Krakow in cooperation with the Krakow Film Festival.
> 
> We are also happy to announce that the Swedish Instituite will support or project: War and Peace between Two Seas - Filmmakers bridging divide in conflict zones.  A project that appears even more relevant today than when we designed it. Meanwhile we continue to interact with our filmmakers and friends and our film projects continue to meet new audiences.
