The Achievement Awards of this year’s International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, Turkey’s most established cinema event, have found their recipients. The awards will be presented to Farah Zeynep Abdullah and Aras Bulut İynemli at the festival, which will take place from October 5 to 12.
Despite her relatively young career, Farah Zeynep Abdullah is known for her versatility. The successful actress first gained recognition for her role as Aylin in the TV series “Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki.” In 2013, she attracted attention with her performance in Yılmaz Erdoğan‘s directed film “The Butterfly’s Dream,” and for her success in this film, she was awarded Best Supporting Actress at both the SİYAD and Sadri Alışık Awards. She also appeared in successful films such as “Whisper If I Forget,” “Champion,” and “Bergen.” In the 2022 film “Bergen,” she not only co-produced but also starred in the lead role. For this performance, she was once again chosen as the Best Actress by SİYAD.
The other award recipient, Aras Bulut İynemli, began his acting career with the TV series “Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki.” After his first film, “Mahmut and Meryem”, he gained recognition with his performance in Çağan Irmak‘s film “Are We OK?,” for which he won the Ekrem Bora Promising Actor Award at the Sadri Alışık Awards. From 2013 to 2021, he reached a wide audience with his roles in the TV series “Magnificent Century,” “Inside,” and “The Pit.” In 2019, he starred in “Miracle in Cell No. 7,” which became one of Turkey’s most-watched and highest-grossing films of the year. Most recently, in the 2023 production “Atatürk,” he portrayed Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
This year’s Achievement Awards will be presented to the recipients during the opening ceremony of the festival on October 5.
