In pictures: Kabul's Cinema Park

The Cinema Park in Kabul, Afghanistan, was shut by the Taliban in 1996, and re-opened in 2001.

It shows mostly Indian films, as well as Western films such as Rambo and James Bond films.

The projector makes a distinctive clatter noise, the sound is distorted and the print so scratched that some images are almost obliterated.

The cinema has more than 500 seats, but only the circle seats are open to customers.

The stalls are locked and unused, but the old hard flip-up wooden seats, with numbers stencilled on the back, are still there.
