We are thrilled to be holding the 62nd International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, a symbol of Antalya’s cultural identity, the heart of cinema, and one of Turkey’s most established and world-renowned film festivals. As the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, we are deeply honored to continue this long-standing tradition and support cinema, art, and our artists.

Because the Golden Orange is more than just a film festival; it’s a gathering place where thought, art, and humanity breathe freely. Antalya has continued to foster this belief and this tradition for 62 years. With the Golden Orange, Antalya is home to the heart of cinema.

This year, with the unifying power of cinema, we are sending a profound message to the world with our theme, “From Heart.” At this festival, we salute not only films, but also humanity, emotion, and conscience. We wholeheartedly salute peace, freedom, and justice. We remind you once again that embracing art, believing in freedom, and seeking justice have always held a place in the heart of this city.

I extend my sincere gratitude to all the artists, esteemed jury members, film professionals, colleagues, and art lovers who contributed to our festival. I hope the Golden Orange resonates throughout the world as a call for hope rising from the heart of art and humanity.
