The Golden Orange Film Festival is the main event of October

The International Golden Orange Film Festival, founded in 1964, remains Turkey’s largest cinematic event. In October 2025, this prestigious festival will once again bring together leading figures of world cinema in Antalya.

The festival program includes screenings of feature films, shorts, and documentaries in the city’s unique venues. Audiences will be able to enjoy cinema both in the historic setting of Kaleiçi (the Old Town) and in modern theaters, including the iconic “Glass Pyramid.” During the festival, Antalya transforms into a vast open-air cinema, where every corner of the city breathes the spirit of the seventh art.

Literature and Theater in November

November will delight literature enthusiasts with the annual Book Fair, which traditionally brings together writers, publishers, and readers from across the country. Visitors will have the chance to meet authors, get signed copies of their favorite books, and attend panel discussions on contemporary literature.

Running alongside the Book Fair are the Theater Days, organized by the Antalya State Theater. The program offers a rich variety of performances — from classics of world drama to bold contemporary productions — adding vibrant depth to the cultural palette of the autumn season.
