The award ceremony of the International Adana Golden Boll Film Festival was held at Çukurova University Congress Center. The awards ceremony started with the traditional red carpet parade.
At the ceremony, hosted by Meltem Cumbul and Yetkin Dikinciler, the performance of the Cahit Berkay Orchestra was highly appreciated.
Referring to the rich content of the festival, President Zeydan Karalar said, “We handed out labor awards, commemorated our lost artists, held informative and emotional conversations, held an honorary award night, brought our festival together with the public in villages and neighborhoods, in some places we took our artists to the public, and enjoyed the cinema on the gondola on the Seyhan River. Many thanks to our jury. They worked meticulously and intensely, and they put a lot of effort into it. We would like to thank the executive committee and all our friends for their hard work. Our aim is to make a festival better than the previous one every year," he said.
Special thanks to the artists, President Zeydan Karalar continued as follows: “Our artists have contributed a lot in making the Golden Boll a brand and in the recognition of Adana, and we have great respect for them. I congratulate our award-winning and participating artists and cinema workers. It is not right to try to direct the artists. The artist is the leader of the society he comes from. The artist already becomes dissident, free-thinking. The cinema industry in our country is experiencing difficulties and this negatively affects the number of films shot. I hope that the number of films applying in freer environments will increase. We are a candidate city to compete with the world's film festivals. Because when you think of cinema, Adana comes to mind, when you think of Adana, cinema comes to mind. When Adana is mentioned, important artists raised by this city come to mind. Long live the cinema, long live the art, long live the artists.”
