World Between Us (2025)

This time-lapse documentary takes viewers on a journey through five years in the life of photographer Marie Tomanová. A native of Mikulov in the Czech Republic who grew up on a small farm, Marie came to the Unites States as an au pair and would ultimately launch a career that would take her to New York City for her first solo exhibition. The film also captures the publication of her first book, a return trip to the Czech Republic for her mother’s wedding, and her relationship with art historian Thomas Beachdel. At its heart it’s a tale about leaving one place behind for somewhere new, overcoming obstacles to feed your artistic passions, and ultimately becoming a different version of yourself. Documentaries are all about pulling back the curtain and giving audiences a glimpse at the real person inside. Thanks to some of Marie’s photography, we get to see the real person inside her clothes - and we mean all of her! She shows off the whole kit and caboodle in several pics, some while frolicking outside, some inside using mirrors, and a few of her baring her Bs with Beachdel. There’s also a moment where Marie is doing a Vogue shoot with her fellow countryman, supermodel and former Mrs. Ric Ocasek Paulina Porizkova, and we get a nice shot of Paulina’s nips because the only thing between us and her is a super-sheer one piece!
