From the Coordinator

Antalya Film Forum, as an international co-production and project development market in Türkiye, is one of the strongest markets that reflects the production memory of the cinema industry and carries it into the future. Supporting the art of cinema with different resources and initiatives and playing an active role in the growth of a structure at international standards has been one of my biggest goals in the industry for many years.

Launched in 2014 as part of the 51st Golden Orange Film Festival under the vision and leadership of Zeynep Atakan, Film Forum has become a structure that is closely followed by the world and hosts important international film industry professionals in a few years.

As someone who worked in the early years of Film Forum, it is a great privilege and honor for me to be the director of Film Forum after many years.

Film Forum, which aims to increase co-production opportunities, support the development of the film industry, encourage producers and directors and increase the visibility of projects produced in Türkiye on international platforms, will continue to be planned with 5 important pitching platforms this year.

I hope that Antalya Film Forum will continue to be a guide and increase the national and international production resources for all filmmakers who want to meet and enrich the universal language of cinema.

I am honored to invite filmmakers from Türkiye and around the world to Antalya Film Forum to create new collaborations, weave original stories and bring these stories to a global audience.

Warm Regards,
Betül Günay
