A biographical film based on the life of Mysliveek with the title 'Il Boemo' is in development, in collaboration with the Czech conductor Vclav Luks, artistic director of the early music ensemble Collegium 1704,Film New Europe Association, [http://www.filmneweurope.com/news/czech-news/item/113781-production-petr-vaclav-in-final-development-with-big-budget-biopic-il-boemo "Production: Petr Vaclav in Final Development with Big Budget Biopic Il Boemo"]. with a planned release in 2020.[http://www.mimesis.cz/il-boemo/ Mimesis Film announcement], December 6, 2016.

'Zpov zapomenutho' is narrated by Czech actor Karel Roden, who reads from personal letters and journal entries written by the composer.Podskalsk, J., [http://www.denik.cz/film/genius-tvorby-a-mizerie-i-neresti-josefa-myslivecka-20150403.html "Gnius tvorby a mizrie i neesti Josefa Mysliveka"], 'Denk', April 4, 2015.

According to Denk, "The film combines footage from Collegium 1704 rehearsals of Mysliveek's opera 'L'Olimpiade' conducted by Luks in 2012 and 2013 at the Prague National Theatre, where the composer worked, and from various archives.Anon., [http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/ct24/kultura/1516396-collegium-1704-zpovida-myslivecka-a-bacha-dava-jako-malokdo "Collegium 1704 zpovd Mysliveka"], esk televize, March 31, 2015. Through letters, music, atmosphere and landscape, Vclav reconstructs the life of a man who was a talented composer and an eternal wanderer with no background but also a lover of women and emoluments, which ultimately was his fatal undoing. Mysliveek's life journey and imaginary feelings, suggestively rendered by Karel Roden's pensive speech, illustrate the film's subject."

Moreover, 'Zpov zapomenutho' "captures the emergence of opera."SFD, [http://www.csfd.cz/film/390274-zpoved-zapomenuteho/galerie/?type=1 'Zpov zapomenutho'].
