Botond Lelkes was born in 1999, Budapest. In 2023, he graduated from the University of Theatre and Film Arts with a degree in Acting. In 2020, he founded the Satöbbi Interdisciplinary Arts Association, followed by the NoN Lieu movement, and in 2022, he established Non Lieu Film Productions Ltd. The organizations he founded emerged as an instinctive response to the transformation of Hungary's cultural landscape. His goal is to create and sustain communities that support free and high-quality culture without censorship. Coming from a multi-generational family of visual artists, he realized that high-level art alone is not enough, it must also reach people. This fundamental experience has shaped his decisions since childhood. As an actor and composer, he recognized that an engaged audience is an essential part of any artistic creation. His primary aim has always been to support artists who struggle to represent themselves and to provide them with opportunities and visibility. This realization strengthened his sense of purpose more than ever: he understood that he could actively contribute to creating opportunities that support artists' work while also participating in these projects as a creative artist himself. As a producer, actor, and composer, he has been involved in numerous creative and commercial projects in recent years.
