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, capturing her experiences on thousands of subjective photographs.

Czech filmmaker Klára Tasovská’s debut feature, presented in Berlinale’s Panorama section earlier this year, 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 on a deeply affective and inspiring work.

This is the UK premiere of the film.
