Ashgabat Cinema, Movie theater in Magtymguly Avenue, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
Ashgabat Cinema is a movie theater on Magtymguly Avenue in the capital. It contains two screening rooms: a main auditorium with around 500 seats and a smaller hall accommodating approximately 70 people.
A Turkish company called Ichkale built this entertainment venue in 2011 after the Turkmenistan government held a tender in 2008. The project resulted from a state initiative to develop modern cultural facilities.
The cinema regularly shows documentaries about Turkmenistan and films in Turkmen, supporting local storytelling and cinema. Visitors can experience productions that center on the country's culture and perspectives.
The venue is easy to access and offers several amenities for visitors: an internet cafe, a shop for books and souvenirs, and an outdoor dining area by the main entrance. Allow time to explore these spaces before your screening begins.
The building's exterior showcases white marble and gray granite combined with stained glass elements, reflecting Ashgabat's modern architectural direction. This material combination gives the cinema a distinctive appearance within the city.
