Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival

The Antalya Golden Orange International Film Festival, Altın Portakal in Turkish, is Turkey's longest-running film festival. Held with the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, it held its 63rd edition from 24 to 31 October 2026. The 2027 dates have not yet been published.

The programme

The 2026 edition had national competitions (features, documentaries, short films), an international competition, a world cinema section, retrospectives, special screenings and a programme for children and young people. Professionals met at the Film Forum, from 25 to 27 October 2026. In 2026, the director Derviş Zaim chaired the national feature film jury; the awards, worth 11 million Turkish lira in total, were presented on Saturday 31 October.

Antalya in late October

In late October, the average high in Antalya is 27 °C and the sea is still at 25 °C: screenings, walks in the old town and swimming go well together. The page Antalya and Kaleiçi presents the city and the ancient sites of Perge, Aspendos and Termessos.

From 9 to 20 November 2026, just after the festival, COP31, the United Nations climate conference, brings delegations from around the world to Antalya: ministries report heavy security and fewer hotel rooms.
