Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and Festival President Muhittin Böcek in his speech; “The enthusiasm of our festival, which started with our traditional cortege, spread in waves from our beautiful city to our beautiful country. We had a very good week with our artists, hundreds of guests from Turkey and abroad, and our fellow countrymen. We met on the streets, we filled the halls with the love of cinema. We healed with art, multiplied, embraced with love. Good luck, Golden Orange. Goodbye cinema. Every day we live, we have seen how right the decisions we make are. Because without Turkish cinema, without our artists, there can be no Golden Orange, it is beautiful with its own values, meaningful with its own values. For him, it is history, it is a plane tree whose age exceeds half a century, it is a world brand with its essence. It is a source of pride for our country in the international arena. Embracing us with its 59-year history, Golden Orange will once again crown the efforts of our artists today. I heartily congratulate all of our artists who will already receive awards,” he said.
