Early life
[edit]He was born on June 27, 1995 in Brest, Belarus.[1] He started making his first amateur films with his friends from the playground at the age of 12. Two years later he founded a 17-person creative group[2] A&B Films, which made short films in Brest. At the age of 16 he took part in the film festivals "Smartfilm" and "Tvori Gora".[3] In 2017 he graduated from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts with a specialty "directing".[2] During his studies he received a presidential scholarship for talented youth.[4] By the time he graduated he had made 11 short films, including several that were distinguished and awarded at international festivals.[2] After graduation he worked for a short time at the Belarusian state film studio Belarusfilm.[3]
Career
[edit]In 2018, he joined the team of a popular Belarusian YouTube channel "Gusin". He prepared for it a season of a series about a goose named Harvey living in a city apartment.[2] In 2020, together with actors of the Janka Kupala National Theatre Mikhail Zuy and Dzmitry Yesianevich, he founded a YouTube channel "ChinChinChannel",[3] where he serves as film director and showrunner. The channel ridicules Belarusian government propaganda of the Lukashenka era and stereotypical state officials, the so-called chinovniks.[2] Kashperski produces satirical materials, clips and short films for the channel, such as "Shchuchinshchyna", which had over 1.1 million views in 2025. At the end of 2020, he produced a full-length comedy New Year's musical "ChynChyny u krainie cudau" (English: ChinChins in Wonderland), which was broadcast on Belsat TV.[3]
In 2021, together with the "ChinChinChannel" team, he went to Ukraine, where he made the satirical series "Tut byu Lenin" (English: Here was Lenin). After shooting about 1/3 of the material, the work was interrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[2] In March 2022, he left for Poland, where he lives and works as a film director.[3] He is a member of the Belarusian Independent Film Academy.[5] In 2023 he made the four-episode series "Processes", which was broadcast on the YouTube channel "Vot tak" which is part of Belsat TV. The series received numerous awards at festivals in Europe and the United States.[6][7][8] In 2025, he made the short horror film "Sud miortwych" (English: Judgment of the Dead) with Zoya Belachwoscik in the main role.[9]
