1st Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival

The 1st Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival (Turkish: 1. Antalya Altın Portakal Film Festivali) was held from October 4 to 10, 1964 in Antalya, Turkey. It was initiated by Avni Tolunay, who had been patronising summer concerts and plays at the historical Aspendos Theatre since the mid-1950s and had become the mayor of Antalya the previous year. He also chose the orange as the symbol of the festival. The festival, which had the stated aim "to support the sector of Turkish cinema in material and moral terms, to pave the way for Turkish cinema to be opened to the international platform by encouraging Turkish film producers to produce qualified productions," was held under what the official website describes as "difficult conditions" but generated "a great interest" nonetheless. Golden Oranges were awarded in seven categories to the six Turkish films made in the preceding year which were selected to compete in the festival's National Feature Film Competition.[1][2]
