Hojaguly Narliyev (Turkmen: Hojaguly Narliýew; born 21 January 1937 in Ashkhabad, Turkmen SSR, USSR), also known as Khodzhakuli Narliev, is a Turkmen film director, actor, screenwriter, and producer, and the first secretary of the Film Union of Turkmenistan.[1]
Narliev graduated from Moscow's Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in 1960. His first film of note was working with director Bulat Mansurov on The Competition in 1963, a notable film in the development of Turkmen national cinema.[2] He garnered critical acclaim for his 1972 film Nevestka (Daughter-in-Law) which is considered to be "the film that put Turkmen film on the map" and the most important film in Turkmen cinema.[3][2] Narliyev's movies typically deal with issues surrounding women in Soviet society and Sovietization.[2]
As an actor, Narliyev appeared in Kto byl nichem... (1974), Kogda zhenshchina osedlaet konya (1974), Derevo Dzhamal (1981) (also directed and wrote) and Nichevo ne sluchilos' (1989).
