Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on February 11, 1944)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Lordan Zafranovic! Another year older, yet your films remain as avant-garde and timelessly provocative as ever. Who else could turn "Occupation in 26 Pictures" into a cinematic masterpiece that still occupies our minds decades later? Clearly, age only sharpens your artistic edge.

May this birthday bring you more applause than even winning the Big Golden Arena at Pula Film Festival—though topping such success might require another groundbreaking film or perhaps inventing an entirely new genre altogether!

Here's wishing you endless inspiration (and plenty of cake) on your special day. Keep rolling those cameras!
