Following outrage from Czech and international producers, the Czech Republic is bringing back its film production incentives – but at a reduced rate that’s being called a stop-gap measure until a new law can fully restore them.
Czech President Milos Zeman has signed a new act to keep the incentives at 20 of rebate on cash spent – lagging behind the 30 rate now in play in Hungary and Poland and also trailing Slovakia and Germany, who each offer 25.
The new law also caps the fund available for rebates at about 6 million per project, a limit that the head of the Czech Film Commission, Pavlina Zipkova, says “is going against the pure sense of production incentives, which is to attract inward investment.”
Zipkova adds that industry officials are at work on an improved version of the incentives law to create more competitive conditions to keep the recent flow of mega-productions such as Netflix...

Robert Sedláček on Jan Palach: 'Palach is a national treasure, the source of many strong opinions. It is important we keep his memory alive. Yet we know very little about him'
Robert Sedláček Photo: Petr Novák, Wikipedia An interesting footnote to the showing of the excellent - and up for several accolades at the Czech Film Critics' Awards - Jan Palach at the Czech embassy last week was a post-film interview with director Robert Sedlácek.
Sedlácek comes to directing from journalism. He crossed over to filmmaking with Rules Of Lies, a 2006 film about drug addiction. His reputation grew with Long Live The Family (2011) and he is also acclaimed for The Czech Century (2013).
Despite this, he is renowned as a “bad boy” of Czech culture...getting up close to Milos Zeman, a Czech president well-known for his antipathy toward journalists, and then turning up to receive one of his country's highest...

Launching its 22nd edition with an ambitious, expanded program, the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival opened Thursday in the Czech Republic, embracing the theme of memory as it marks the centennial of the founding of Czechoslovakia.
The nation, formed at the close of Wwi, lasted through 1993, when it was broken up into Slovakia and the Czech Republic, two nations that these days each contribute strongly to documentary presence at the fest and beyond. The breakup turned millions into migrants overnight, providing the seed for the Ji.hlava fest’s main focus this year: migration.
Fest founder Marek Hovorka, speaking in the city’s communist-era community center known as Dko, presented to an international audience the fest’s three sections covering work on migration: Foreigner Looking for an Apartment, about émigrés settling into life abroad; a focus on the region of Carpathia, “sort of a mythological part of the country...
