Following the changes made to the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival for its 56^th edition (26 October-1 November), the industry section of the festival, the Antalya Film Forum, is also getting an overhaul. Running from 28-30 October, this year, the forum is inviting 29 Turkish projects that will be presented in four different sections. Also, a new team will be running the forum, with Ukrainian producer Olena Yershova Yıldız becoming the new head of the co-production market and project development platform. Yershova Yıldız’s company TatoFilm operates in both Turkey and Ukraine.
