First Exam

About This Movie

First Exam is a 1959 drama that explores the life of a schoolboy from a Turkmen village. Directed by Turkmenfilm, the film focuses on Oraz, a young artist whose talent is recognized in an international exhibition.

First Exam remains a rare gem in the cinematic landscape, particularly for collectors focused on Soviet-era films and Central Asian narratives. Its limited availability in physical formats makes it somewhat of a sought-after item, with few copies circulating among enthusiasts. While not heavily documented, its unique exploration of art and childhood resonates with those who appreciate the quieter, more introspective aspects of cinema. As interest in international films continues to grow, this title holds particular appeal for those looking to deepen their understanding of regional storytelling.
