I’m Not Everything I Want to Be

Libuše Jarcovjáková, who’s been dubbed the “Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia”, finds herself in a stifling environment after the Prague Spring of 1968. There are few places where she can express herself freely or explore her sexuality. The camera as her constant companion — and the source of the film’s material, made up of her innumerable photographs and diary excerpts — sees her go to West Berlin, escape to Tokyo, and return to Europe.
