Known for her raw images of Prague during the normalization era, she encourages students to photograph ordinary moments, noting that everyday life quickly becomes history.Jarcovjáková also discussed her documentary film I’m Not Who I Want to Be Yet and its promotional campaign in the United States. Although the film did not advance to the final round of the Oscars, the experience highlighted the competitive and financially driven nature of the international film industry.
