Summer Film Screenings and Photography Exhibition

Please join us for the U.S. Embassy in Ashgabat’s annual Summer Film Screenings. This year’s selected films—Wall-E, Hidden Figures, and First Man—celebrate space exploration in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969. The films will be screened in Turkmenabat, Mary, Ashgabat, Dashoguz, Balkanabat, and Turkmenbashy and will be accompanied by a photography exhibition on “Science and History of Space Exploration.” Screening locations and times for the films are listed below, or you can download flyers with full information in Russian and Turkmen (PDF 1 MB).  Entrance is free and open to the public.
