“Celebration,” directed by Bruno Anković and written by Jelena Paljan, is based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Damir Karakaš. The film follows approximately twenty years in the life of the main character and his family in a poor village in Lika.

At the end of World War II, a tired and defeated soldier named Mijo hides in the forest. From his hideout, he observes his hometown, which he is not allowed to return to. Mijo takes us on a journey into the past, and through three key moments of his life, we explore the circumstances that lead to extremism in society. The role of the main character, Mijo, is played by three actors: Bernard Tomić, Lars Štern, and Jan Doležal. Krešimir Mikić plays the role of the father, Klara Fiolić plays Mijo's wife Drenka, and the film also features Tanja Smoje, Nedim Nezirović, David Tasić Daf, and Izudin Bajrović. “Celebration” had its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and won the Grand Golden Arena for Best Croatian Film at the Pula Film Festival, along with Golden Arenas for Screenplay, Cinematography, and Best Male Role (Bernard Tomić).
