CNN —One of Turkey’s most prestigious film festivals was canceled Friday after a political documentary provoked the ire of the government. The Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, in its 60th year, was due to be held in Antalya, on the Turkish riviera, from October 7 to 14. The documentary film “Kanun Hukmu” (or “The Decree”) was first removed from its schedule last week. A screening of the documentary film "Kanun Hukmu" was canceled, then reinstated — and then canceled again. After this, the festival removed the film once again and then finally canceled the entire event.
