  • Director Bruno Anković's debut feature 'Celebration (Proslava)' is based on a novel by Damir Karakaš, chronicling the life of Mijo, a Ustasha soldier forced to go into hiding in the woods in 1945 as his wife Drenka risks her life to keep him alive.
  • The film's four-part, nonlinear structure uses each season to foreshadow a different era of Croatian history, from the family's struggle with poverty and political upheaval in the 1920s-30s, to the founding of the Independent State of Croatia in 1941 amidst the Nazi regime.
