In the last decades of the Soviet Union, a young, queer female photographer breaks free from the constraints of the repressive Czechoslovakian regime and embraces the underground hedonism of the times on a wild journey to freedom and self-acceptance. Based on the work and diaries of Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková, dubbed the ‘Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia’ for her raw snapshots documenting the lives of queer individuals, migrants and other marginalized peoples, I’m Not Everything I Want to Be captures her experiences through thousands of subjective photographs. Truly a life lived in pictures.
