I’m Not Everything I Want to Be

FromKlára Tasovská

Year2024

Duration89min.

At over 60, Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková receives the call she has been waiting for all her life. The famous Arles Festival wanted to show her work, which the public had not yet seen much of. She began taking photographs early on, resisted repression, travelled to Japan despite being banned, entered into a fictitious marriage to start a new life in West Berlin. The camera captures everything: her companions, the illegal nightlife, a short career as a fashion photographer. The result is a chronicle of the search for identity and the fight against oppression - as private as it is political, as blunt as it is atmospheric. A film of photos with a diary-like voice-over by the artist herself. (Selia Fischer)
