Cinema In Kabul


The Bakhtar Cinema in the centre of Kabul. People say they like this venue, except in Afghanistan's icy winter, because there is no heating in the building. Kabul, Afghanistan, 2005.

Security checks at the entrance to the Pamir Cinema in Kabul. People must hand over cameras, mobile phones, radios, knives, scissors, cutters and guns before entering the building. Kabul, Afghanistan, 2005.


Afghan men going to buy tickets for films at the Pamir Cinema in Kabul. One ticket costs 20 afghanis ($0.40). Afghan women very rarely go to the cinema because these venues have a bad reputation. Kabul, Afghanistan, 2005.
