The premiere of the film The Larks on a String took place only in 1990. The digital restoration of this film, funded by Mrs. Milada Kučerová and Mr. Eduard Kučera, was carried out by the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in collaboration with the National Film Archive and the State Cinematography Fund in partnership with UPP and Soundsquare in 2021.
