Featured in the DAZED list: “8 brilliant new art documentaries you need to see”

“Marie Tomanova left her small Czech village to move to New York City and pursue her dream of being an artist. Life was tough as an immigrant in the US. She wrestled with a crisis of identity, toiling in low paid jobs, cleaning and babysitting, trying to establish herself in this new life far away from home. Once she discovered photography and met her partner Thomas Beachdel, an art historian, her star began to ascend. Now an award-winning photographer, Tomanova has had solo shows in New York City, Prague, Tokyo, and Paris, and published books with forewords by Kim Gordon and Ryan McGinley. The World Between Us is a feature length documentary by director Marie Dvořáková, following Tomanova and Beachdel over this crucial five-year period, tracing their personal and professional lives as they establish themselves in NYC’s thrilling but formidable creative scene. - Dazed, April 2, 2025
