Jam Factory Art Center invites you to the screening of the documentary I Am Not Who I Want to Be, which will take place on December 3 in partnership with the International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival Docudays UA. The film has already been shown in Ukraine at the Sunny Bunny Queer Film Festival and Docudays UA, and will now be presented in Lviv as part of a special event.
TicketsAbout the film
The film tells the story of a young photographer who, after the Soviet occupation of Prague, seeks to break free from the pressures of Czechoslovak standardization and find her own path to freedom. On her journey, she documents her experience through thousands of personal photographs, creating a visual archive of inner transformation and bearing witness to a generation searching for alternatives to the rigid and restrictive environment of late socialist Czechoslovakia.
