In previous years, the Film Forum supported projects with the Sümer Tilmaç Antalya Screenplay Support Fund, which aims to support a national feature film whose shooting will take place in Antalya for at least two-thirds of the film's final cut, including scenes shot in Antalya for at least two-thirds of the film's duration, to increase film production in Antalya, which has the most suitable daylight and natural sets for filming in Turkey, and to transform Antalya into one of the major centers of the Turkish and global film industries. This year, the Film Forum will accept projects until Monday, September 22, 2025 .

Film Forum, which aims to increase international visibility for projects by supporting directors and producers, continues its efforts with determination. Applications for the forum can be submitted through the Film Forum page at www.antalyaff.com.
