Director's Statement

I strongly believe in empowering women by sharing their stories through visual media. I moved to Ireland from Czech Republic in 2004. Since then I haven’t put the camera down, although my original profession is a journalist. I love writing and listening to people’s stories and I believe it reflects in my visual work. Career choice is a complicated process and more than often we are moulded into professions we aren’t really passionate about. Also, very often, we don’t even know what is possible and what we can do. That is why I decided to share stories of women who can inspire young generations.

Republic, she moved to Ireland in 2004. She lives in Dublin with her Czech husband and two daughters. She is currently contracted as a stills photographer with the Irish TV soap opera Fair City.
Life, Boat, Home is Beta’s third short documentary film. It was commissioned by The Little Museum of Dublin as a part of the exhibition What’s She Doing Here? Women at Work 1918 – 2018.
