After the Soviet invasion of Prague, a young female photographer, Libuše Jarcovjáková, strives to break free from the constraints of Czechoslovak normalization and embarks on a wild journey towards freedom via Berlin and Japan, capturing her experiences on thousands of subjective photographs.

Czech filmmaker Klára Tasovská’s debut feature is a formally inventive and deeply personal film which was one of our top picks from this year's Berlinale. Made in close collaboration with Libuše Jarcovjáková and exclusively resorting to photographs and diary entries, I’m Not Everything I Want to Be explores the photographer’s search for identity and emotional journey, and results on a deeply affective and inspiring work.

“This film is as much a tribute to the artistic process and curiosities of a photographer as it is a revealing portrait of her existence, forming an unconventional but deeply moving coming-of-age story.”
