(adv. 15) Dir. Klára Tasovská Czechia / Slovakia / Austria 2024 / 1h 30m

Czech filmmaker Klára Tasovská’s debut feature is a formally inventive and deeply personal film. 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 in a deeply affective and inspiring work.

‘The struggle with obscurity, her refusal to give up, is one of the things that makes Jarcovjáková such a winning subject here’ —The Guardian
