Alexander Kott's drama received the Grand Prix of the 51st International Film Festival «Golden Orange», held in Antalya.
In the very first round of voting the jury unanimously voted for «The Test».
The prominent Russian film critic and film scholar Andrei Plakhov, who was on the jury, wrote the wording of the decision: «The film is awarded for reflecting the conflicts of the atomic era, for its visual richness and the asceticism of form, returning cinema to its origins.»
