42-481: Cultural activities like concerts and theatre plays, which started to take place in the 1950s at the historical Aspendos Amphitheatre , formed the cornerstone of the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival of today. These events held in the summer months under the honorary patronage of Avni Tolunay, found ever increasing interest from people and became traditional at the beginning of the 1960s. In 1963,

84-494: A genitive , and the use of a special expression και νι + imperative . All of these features can be explained as an adaption of the Greek language by imperfect second-language speakers: if a small group of colonizing Greek immigrants remained a minority in an area inhabited by Anatolian speaking people, the heavily accented Greek spoken as a second language by the local population, coloured by their native Anatolian language, would become

126-598: A Golden Orange statuette is awarded in addition in all of the following categories: The festival starts with a parade in the city of Antalya in the evening of the first day. The opening ceremony takes place at the Konyaaltı Amphitheatre or in Antalya Cultural Center in presence of the national and international film celebrities invited. At this ceremony, honorary awards are presented to cinema people for their contribution. The award ceremony takes place on

168-509: Is known from about 300 inscriptions, most of them from the Pamphylian city of Aspendos . Nearly all of them are short and funeral and consist of names only. Pamphylian graffiti giving single names have also been found abroad, in Egypt ( Abydos ) and Delos . The longest inscription is a 36 line decree from Aspendos, first analyzed in detail in 1880 by William M. Ramsay . Inscriptions are dated from

210-598: Is located 40 km east of the modern city of Antalya . It was situated on the Eurymedon River about 16 km inland from the Mediterranean Sea ; it shared a border with, and was hostile to, the ancient city of Side . The wide range of its coinage throughout the ancient world indicates that, in the 5th century BC, Aspendos had become the most important city in Pamphylia. At that time, according to Thucydides ,

252-656: The Etymologicum Magnum says that they tended to swallow /s/-sounds and pronounce them as a 'hairy' (δασύς) sound, i.e., a rough breathing: instead of mousika they said mōˁika . (One may compare a similar phenomenon in the Anatolian languages , where, for example, Milyan masa , 'god', is an older counterpart of Lycian maha .) An inscription from Perge dated to around 400 BC reads: Ͷανά [REDACTED] αι Πρειίαι Κλεμύτας Λϝαράμυ Ͷασιρϝο̄τας ἀνέθε̄κε ( Wanassāi Preiiāi Klemutas Lvaramu Wasirvōtas anethēke , 'Klemutas

294-713: The Robber Council of Ephesus held the same year, and Leo at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787. No longer a residential bishopric, Aspendus is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see . The theatre hosts the annual Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival organized by Turkish State Opera and Ballet since 1994, with international participation of opera and ballet companies and an audience of about 10,000. Dalida held her last concert there on 28 April 1987. Pamphylian Greek Pamphylian

336-522: The 4th century but persisted until the end of the Hellenistic period for sociocultural reasons. The Northeast Peloponnesian corpus doctrinae, encompassing the alphabets of the region, already had features of the Pamphylian alphabet. <Ϝ> represented the posterior approximant, and <Ͷ> was linked to the letter for /b/ in Corinth, possibly also representing /w/. When this system reached Anatolia, it became

378-452: The Aspendians had failed to ratify the agreement their envoys had proposed and were preparing to defend themselves. Alexander marched to the city immediately. When they saw Alexander returning with his troops, the Aspendians, who had retreated to their Acropolis , again sent envoys to sue for peace. This time, however, they had to agree to very harsh terms; a Macedonian garrison would remain in

420-695: The English captions" (but not from the Turkish audio), the documentary will now be shown in the Festival as it was shown to audiences in Istanbul and elsewhere. 41°02′12″N 28°59′16″E  /  41.03664°N 28.98779°E  / 41.03664; 28.98779 Aspendos Aspendos or Aspendus ( Pamphylian : ΕΣΤϜΕΔΥΣ; Attic : Ἄσπενδος) was an ancient Greco-Roman city in Antalya province of Turkey . The site

462-580: The Eurymedon River was navigable as far as Aspendos, and the city derived great wealth from a trade in salt, oil and wool. Aspendos did not play an important role in antiquity as a political force. Its political history during the colonisation period corresponded to the currents of the Pamphylian region. Within this trend, after the colonial period, it remained for a time under Lycian hegemony. In 546 BC, it came under Persian domination. The fact that

504-506: The Great marched into Aspendos in 333 BC after capturing Perge , the citizens sent envoys asking him not to garrison soldiers there. He agreed, provided he would be given the taxes and horses that they had formerly paid as tribute to the Persian king. After reaching this agreement Alexander went to Side, leaving a garrison there on the city's surrender. Going back through Sillyon, he learned that

546-443: The Pamphylian alphabet stems from the 'dark blue' alphabets of North Eastern Peloponnese. The Pamphylian alphabet made use both of the original Pamphylian digamma (Ͷ) and a standard digamma (Ϝ). It has been surmised that the original sound / w / in some environments (after vowels) was represented by Ͷ; where the sound had changed to labiodental / v / in the Pamphylian dialect, it was represented by Ϝ. Sometimes Ͷ also stood in

588-477: The Pamphylian alphabet through interaction with Anatolian alphabets and the phonetic changes in the Pamphylian dialect. This resulted in the variable use of <Ͷ>, <Ϝ>, and <B> during both Classical and Hellenistic periods, leading to their overlapping phonetic values. There is also a psi-like sampi ( [REDACTED] ), used probably to represent the sounds /s/ , /ss/ , or /ps/ . A conspicuous element in Pamphylian texts are double iotas , where

630-464: The board, Reyan Tuvi's feature-length documentary on the 2013-2014 Gezi protests , titled Yeryüzü Aşkın Yüzü Oluncaya Dek ( Until The Earth's Face Becomes Love's Face ), was removed from the festival with the claim that the documentary violated articles 125 and 299 of the Turkish Penal Code . As an initial response, the jury of the Festival released a press statement protesting the decision. In

672-620: The city and 100 gold talents as well as 4,000 horses would be given in tax annually. In 190 BC, the city surrendered to the Romans , and the corrupt magistrate Verres later pillaged its art treasures. It was ranked by Philostratus the third city of Pamphylia, and in Byzantine times seems to have been known as Primopolis. Toward the end of the Roman period the city began a decline that continued throughout Byzantine times, although in medieval times it

714-659: The city continued to mint coins in its own name, however, indicates that it had a great deal of freedom even under the Persians. Circa 465 BC, Cimon led an Athenian navy against a Persian navy in the Battle of the Eurymedon , and destroyed it. Aspendos then became a member of the Delian League . The Persians captured the city again in 411 BC and used it as a base. In 389 BC, Thrasybulus of Athens, in an effort to regain some of

756-529: The closing night at the historical Aspendos Amphitheatre, which holds around 7,000 people. In case of bad weather conditions, the award ceremony is transferred to the Glass Pyramid Sabancı Congress and Exhibition Center , which provides seating for an audience of 2,500 only. During the 51st Golden Orange Festival in 2014, which was organized by Justice and Development Party (Turkey) 's municipality, when The Lamb directed by Kutluğ Ataman swept

798-415: The expense of finding a way to contain the water pressure in the siphon in an era when large diameter piping was difficult to seal. The siphon was split into three bridge sections 600, 900 and 150 m long, separated by 5.5 m square two towers where the aqueduct bends and where the water ascended and descended and which are today still 30 m high. The siphon was built on arches to cross the marshy valley between

840-457: The festival is formed by nine personalities from the world of cinema and culture, who may not be directly associated with the production or exploitation of a film in competition. A jury of seven professional cinema experts in each of the three film categories advise the main jury. The Golden Orange awards are given in three film categories. The statuette used before 2005 has been reinstated as of 2009. Money prizes are given in major categories and

882-678: The festival went international by incorporating plastic arts for the first time. Until 1985, the Golden Orange Festival was organized by the patronage of the Municipality of Antalya. That year, the organization was taken over by the newly established Foundation for Culture, Arts and Tourism in Antalya (Antalya Kültür Sanat Turizm Vakfı, AKSAV). From 1985 until 1988, the incorporation of an international music festival called "Akdeniz Akdeniz" ("Mediterranean Mediterranean") added another dimension to

924-587: The festival. In the years 1989 to 1994, the municipality, tourism companies and the chamber of commerce in Antalya performed the organization of the Golden Orange Film Festival jointly. Finally, the festival became institutional with the establishment of the Foundation of Golden Orange Culture and Arts Foundation. The institution serves under the name Antalya Culture and Arts Foundation (Antalya Kültür Sanat Vakfı) since September 2002. From 2005 to 2008 it

966-459: The festivities turned into a film festival with the initiation Avni Tolunay, who became the mayor of Antalya that year. As the logo of the film festival, an orange was chosen as the most important symbol of the region, along with the sea, historical elements, and the Venus statue. The orange becomes not only a figure within the logo but also gives the festival its name. The 1st Golden Orange Film Festival

1008-415: The fifth century BCE to the Roman period, most of them being from the second century BCE. Coins issued by Pamphylian cities also bear the script. Some 30 Pamphylian single words are known from glosses given by Hesychius , Eustathius , and the Etymologicum Magnum . Pamphylia had a variant local alphabet , which was probably borrowed from other Greek alphabets. According to Selvi & Santamaria (2023)

1050-497: The first iota denotes an /i/-sound and the second a glide /j/. The Η sign usually represents a /h/-sound ( rough breathing ); only rarely, in a few late inscriptions, it is apparently used to represent the classical Greek eta vowel (/ɛ:/ or /i:/). Eustathius, quoting Heraclides , says that the Pamphylians "liked the /b/-sound so much that they often put b's in"; for example, instead of aëlios ('Sun'), they said babelios . And

1092-403: The hills and the town. The central section consisted of 46 arches up to 15 m high, 29 of which are still standing. The siphon was 40 m deep between the towers leading to a pressure of 400kPa (4bar) in the pipes and delivered about 5600 m per day. The pipes were carved blocks of limestone carefully fitted together to ensure a good seal using a mortar of lime and olive oil which expands when wet. It

1134-410: The obverse represents the soldiery for which Aspendus was famous in antiquity," the reverse frequently depicts a triskelion . The legend appears on early coins as the abbreviation ΕΣ or ΕΣΤϜΕ; later coinage has ΕΣΤϜΕΔΙΙΥΣ, the adjective from the city's local (Pamphylian) name Estwedus. The city's numismatic history extends from archaic Greek to late Roman times. The Christian bishopric of Aspendus

1176-422: The place of beta . It was found by Selvi & Santamaria (2023) that the Pamphylian alphabet originated from a process of selection, adaptation, and refunctionalization of a Northeast Peloponnesian model. This region, closely linked to Pamphylia by mythological and historical ties, used dark blue alphabets from Corinth to Argos, influenced by other Peloponnesian centers like Sparta. The use of <Ͷ> declined in

1218-402: The press that they were in solidarity with Reyan Tuvi, that they respected his right to an audience, that they protested the Festival administration's behavior of taking on the role of the judiciary branch, and that they were concerned about the administration's attempts to normalize censorship. Again on October 5, Reyhan Tuvi tweeted that, because she decided to "remove a specific curseword from

1260-530: The prestige that city had lost in the Peloponnesian Wars , anchored off the coast of Aspendos in an effort to secure its surrender. Hoping to avoid a new war, the people of Aspendos collected money among themselves and gave it to the commander, entreating him to retreat without causing any damage. Even though he took the money, he had his men trample all the crops in the fields. Enraged, the Aspendians stabbed and killed Thrasybulus in his tent. When Alexander

1302-456: The recent Aspendus Culture and Film Festival has shown that it can hold over 20,000. It was built in 155 by the Greek architect Zenon, a native of the city. It was periodically repaired by the Seljuqs , who used it as a caravanserai , and in the 13th century the stage building was converted into a palace by the Seljuqs of Rum . As was usual to minimise construction complexity and cost, part of

1344-414: The statement, the jury called out the action as a censorship effort by the administration and stated that the festival administration refused to reinstate the documentary despite their written protests. On October 5, 2014, the chair of the Festival jury informed the press of his decision to resign from the jury for ethical reasons. The following day, 10 more jury members resigned from the Festival, informing

1386-508: The theatre was built against the hill where the Citadel ( Acropolis ) stood, while the remainder was built on vaulted arches. The high stage, whose supporting columns are still in place, served to seemingly isolate the audience from the rest of the world. The scaenae frons , or backdrop, has remained intact. The 8.1 metre (27 ft) sloping reflective wooden ceiling over the stage has been lost over time. Post holes for 58 masts are found in

1428-533: The upper level of the theatre. These masts supported a velarium or awning that could be pulled over the audience to provide shade. The diameter of the orchestra is 23.87 meters and the height of the columnatio (stage backdrop) was 15.7 meters. The unique 19 km-long Roman aqueduct is possibly the most important monument, since the last 2 km of the conduit is a well-preserved inverted siphon, rather than an open channel, which made this aqueduct famous. The siphon allowed shorter arches to be constructed at

1470-478: The wasirvotas, son of Lvaramus, dedicated this to the Queen of Perge'). In eastern Pamphylia, the Pamphylian cities Side and Lyrbe-Seleukia used another language and script, called Sidetic . Pamphylic Greek appears to have been heavily influenced by nearby Anatolian languages such as Lycian , Pisidian , and Sidetic , in both phonology and syntax . In morphology and lexicon , Anatolian influence apparently

1512-558: Was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Side , the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia Prima , to which Aspendus belonged. Of its bishops, the names of four are recorded in extant documents: Domnus was at the First Council of Nicaea in 425, Tribonianus at the Council of Ephesus in 431, Timotheus at the 448 synod held by Flavian of Constantinople , which condemned Eutyches , and at

1554-569: Was a little-attested dialect of Ancient Greek that was spoken in Pamphylia , on the southern coast of Asia Minor . Its origins and relation to other Greek dialects are uncertain, though a number of scholars have proposed isoglosses with Arcadocypriot . It is the sole classical era dialect which did not use articles , suggesting that it split off from other dialects early. Some of its distinctive characteristics reflect potential language contact with Anatolian languages spoken nearby. Pamphylian

1596-500: Was built between the middle of the 2nd and end of the 3rd century. An inscription states Tiberius Claudius Italicus spent 2 million denarii to build an aqueduct here. Nearby stand the remains of a stadium, baths, basilica , agora and nymphaeum . The Roman Eurymedon Bridge , reconstructed in the 13th century, is also in the vicinity. Aspendos was one of the earliest cities to mint coins. It began issuing coinage around 500 BC, first staters and later drachmas ; "the slinger on

1638-465: Was evidently still a strong place. Diogenes Laërtius writes that there was a native of Aspendos called Demetrius, who was a pupil of Apollonius of Soli. In addition, he mentions Diodorus of Aspendus . Aspendos is known for having the best-preserved theatre of antiquity, the Roman Theatre of Aspendos . With a diameter of 96 metres (315 ft), it provided seating for 7,000. Even though,

1680-460: 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,

1722-530: Was jointly organized with Turkish Foundation of Cinema and Audio-visual Culture (TURSAK) and was accompanied by the International Eurasia Film Festival : the 1st International Eurasia Film Festival; 2nd International Eurasia Film Festival; 3rd International Eurasia Film Festival; and the final 4th International Eurasia Film Festival. The festival was cancelled on September 29, 2023, due to intense government pressure. The international jury of

1764-415: Was much more limited. The phonological influence of Anatolian on Pamphylic has been characterized as "massive structural interference", affecting both the consonant and vowel repertoire. Aspirates gave way to fricatives , as did stop consonants . In syntax three specific peculiarities stand out: absence of the article "the", use of the dative with pre- and postpositions where other Greeks would use
