A tale of the wind is one of four films in a special Ivens program during the 46th edition of the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival.
The Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, held between October 10-17 in Antalya, is the most important national film festival in Turkey. The festival is accompanied by the International Eurasia Film Festival. The 1st Golden Orange Film Festival was held in 1964. Its mission was formulated by Avni Tolunay as to promote the Turkish cinema, to motivate Turkish film producers for high quality works and to help Turkish cinema penetrate the international film platform. The Golden Orange Feature Film Award was called soon the Turkish Oscar following the enthusiasm created in the cinema world with its high performance within a short time. In 1978, the festival went international by incorporating plastic arts for the first time. In 2004, the foundation determined the new goal of the festival as going international and set its range to all Eurasian countries to make the Golden Orange Film Festival a platform of the cinema of those. A film fair called “Antalya Eurasia Film Market” is created to contribute financially to the film festival.
