"Zatím dvakrát" by Matěj Zahajský

Matěj Zahajský presented a new project from FAMU to the Jiří Menzel Foundation. It is a short student film called "So far twice". It is the directorial debut of screenwriter Dominika Ondrušková, who won the 15-minute script competition at the Department of Screenwriting and Dramaturgy at FAMU.

"Zatím dvakrát" is a 15-minute film telling the story of a father and daughter in two timelines separated by approximately 18 years. In the past, when little Dorothy was about seven years old, their trip went wrong due to rainy weather and her dad's lack of preparedness and they had to return home. This time the weather is beautiful, but there is a communication barrier between Dad and the adult Dorothy, which they both try, albeit clumsily, to break down during their second attempt in years. Yet the film, despite its themes of aging and regrets about wasted time, offers hope. It's not too late to renew the relationship and create new memories, as reflected in the film's title, which points to a future that is yet to come for both of them.
