Synopsis

And Saturday Again (И снова суббота; Vimeo title “And saturday again”) is a 2015 short about belated action and unfinished memory. Official tagline (Vimeo): “It is never too late to do something about what you had forgotten” / «Никогда не бывает поздно сделать то, о чем ты даже забыл.» Key art and reels show a camping trip — dark tent on a green hill, Ukrainian flag, German shepherd (Daimon), forest paths, city-face close-ups — friends returning to something deferred rather than pure nostalgia. Presented by CINEAST / Anton Frolov; sound by TANAIS; soundman Valery Beskorsy; multi-hyphenate direction/writing/camera/edit/score by Poberailo. Cast (key art): Anna Karika, Anna Kravchenko, Alexander Maslov, Asya Chernova, Vadim Mitin, and dog Daimon. Same mid-2010s stretch as Dirty Russian and the start of Terrible Brilliant. IMDb tt4832758.

Themes

  • Belated action

    The tagline refuses “too late”: forgetting is not final; the short is about doing the deferred thing, not mourning it only.

  • Saturday as loop

    Weekend recurrence as structure — the same day-name returns until something finally changes.

  • Trip as hinge

    Forest, tent, flag, dog — a weekend outing that holds the return to unfinished personal business.

  • DIY full stack

    Direction through score by one author, with CINEAST presentation and TANAIS / Beskorsy sound — mid-2010s Kharkiv independent practice.

Characters

    Anna Karika, Anna Kravchenko, Alexander Maslov, Asya Chernova, Vadim Mitin
