Libuše Jarcovjáková: The Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia

The Story of Libuše Jarcovjáková

Libuše Jarcovjáková, already nicknamed “Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia”, finds herself in a suffocating environment after the Prague Spring of 1968. There are few places where she can freely express or explore her sexuality. The camera as a constant companion — and the origin of the film’s material, comprised of her numerous photographs and excerpts from her diaries — captures her journey to West Berlin, escape to Tokyo, and return to Europe.
