The Czech film landscape is seeing various developments in comedy and local screenings. In July, filmmakers for the historical comedy ‘Mé dobré město Znojmo’ launched a crowdfunding campaign on Donio to fund post-production, including editing and 3D animation. Concurrently, the Chopin House in Mariánské Lázně announced an outdoor summer film program featuring several comedies.

By August, focus shifted to the upcoming 48th Czech Film Comedy Festival in Nové Město nad Metují, scheduled for September 13 to 19, 2026. The festival will host thirteen competing comedies and offer opportunities for audience interaction with film personalities. Awards such as the ‘Zlatý Prim’ and the ‘Novoměstský hrnec smíchu’ are set to be presented. Additionally, the film ‘Proč bychom se nezabili’ has been highlighted as a modern take on the traditional Czech village comedy genre.
