Through the decades, downtown Kabuls Ariana Cinema had weathered revolution and war, emerging battered and bruised but still standing to entertain Afghans with Bollywood movies and American action flicks. Now, it is no more.
On December 16, demolition crews began to tear down the historic cinema, which first opened its doors to moviegoers in the early 1960s. A week later, there was nothing left.
Its not just a building made of bricks and cement that is being destroyed, but the Afghan cinema lovers who resisted and continued their art despite the hardships and severe security problems, Afghan film director and actor Amir Shah Talash told The Associated Press. Unfortunately, all the signs of historical Afghanistan are being destroyed.
Hearing about the Ariana Cinemas destruction was very painful and sad news for me, said Talash, who has been active in Afghanistans film industry since 2004 but has been living in France since the Talibans takeover of Afghanistan.
Taliban bans most forms of art and entertainment
Afghanistans Taliban government, which seized power in 2021 in the wake of the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops, has imposed a harsh interpretation of Islamic law which has introduced a raft of restrictions, including bans on most forms of entertainment such as films and music.
Shortly after taking over, the new government ordered all cinemas to stop operating. On May 13 this year, it announced the dissolution of the Afghan Film Administration. The Ariana, built on municipal land by a busy traffic roundabout was shuttered and remained in limbo.
But Kabul authorities later decided the cinema, with its stylish marquee and plush red seats, had to make way for a new shopping complex.
Cinemas themselves are a kind of commercial activity, and that area was a completely commercial area and had the potential for a good market there, Kabul Municipality spokesman Niamatullah Barakzai said.
The municipality aims to develop the land it owns to generate good income from its resources and bring positive changes in the city, he added.
The Ariana Cinema opens in the liberalizing 1960s
The Ariana opened in 1963, its sleek architecture mirroring the modernizing spirit the then-ruling monarchy was trying to bring to the deeply traditional nation.
But Afghanistan was soon plunged into conflict. The Soviets invaded in 1979, and by the late 1980s war raged across the country, as Soviet-backed President Najibullahs government fought an American-backed coalition of warlords and Islamic militants. He was toppled in 1992, but a bloody civil war ensued.
The Ariana suffered heavy damage and lay in ruins for years. In 1996, the Taliban took over Kabul, and whatever cinemas in the city had survived were shuttered.
A new but temporary lease of life
The Ariana was given a new lease of life after the Talibans 2001 ouster by the US-led invasion, with the French government helping to rebuild it in 2004.
Indian films were particularly popular, as were action movies, while the Ariana also began playing Afghan movies resulting from a revival of the domestic film industry.
For Talash, the film director and actor, it was his childhood visits to the Ariana with his brothers that sparked his interest in movies.
It was from this cinema that I fell in love with film and turned to this art form, he said. Eventually, one of his own films was screened in the Ariana, which is one of the unforgettable memories for me.
The cinema was a cultural gathering place for Kabul residents who would go there to relieve their sorrows and problems and to calm their minds and hearts, Talash said. But now, a very important part of Kabul has been taken away. In this new era, we are regressing, which is very sad.
But art, he said, doesnt just reside in buildings. There is still hope.
The future looks difficult, but it is not completely dark, Talash said. Buildings may collapse, but art lives on in the minds and hearts of people.
In neighboring Pakistan, authorities imposed heavy taxes on Indian films to curb imports and then banned them outright after the 1965 war between India and Pakistan over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir. Bollywood fans from Pakistan would travel to Kabul instead to watch the popular movies.
Among them was Sohaib Romi, a Pakistani film enthusiast and art lover, who recalled watching the Indian film Samjhauta, or Compromise, at the Ariana in 1974 with his uncle.
For him, the loss is personal. My memories are buried in the rubble of the Ariana Cinema, he said.
数十年来，位于喀布尔市中心的阿里亚纳电影院历经革命与战火洗礼，虽伤痕累累却始终屹立不倒，为阿富汗民众带来宝莱坞电影和美国动作片的娱乐享受。如今，这座影院已不复存在。
12月16日，拆迁队开始拆除这座历史悠久的老影院。该影院最初于20世纪60年代初向观众开放。一周后，这里已片瓦无存。
阿富汗电影导演兼演员阿米尔·沙阿·塔拉什（Amir Shah Talash）对美联社表示："被摧毁的不仅是由砖块和水泥构成的建筑，更是那些在艰难困苦与严峻安全形势下仍坚持艺术创作的阿富汗电影爱好者。"他痛心地说："不幸的是，阿富汗所有的历史印记正在被抹去。"
塔拉什表示：“听闻阿里亚纳电影院被毁的消息，我感到非常痛苦和悲伤。”他自2004年起活跃于阿富汗电影业，但自塔利班接管阿富汗后一直居住在法国。
{jz:field.toptypename/}塔利班禁止大多数形式的艺术与娱乐活动
阿富汗塔利班政府于2021年在美国及北约部队混乱撤军后掌权，其对伊斯兰教法进行了严苛解释，并实施了一系列限制措施，包括禁止电影、音乐等大多数娱乐形式。
新政府上台后不久便下令所有影院停业。今年5月13日，当局宣布解散阿富汗电影管理局。位于市政用地、紧邻繁忙环形路口的阿里亚纳影院被迫关闭，至今仍处于废弃状态。
但喀布尔当局后来决定，这座拥有时尚门楣和豪华红色座椅的电影院必须为新建的购物中心让路。
喀布尔市政府发言人尼亚马图拉·巴拉卡扎伊表示：“影院本身是一种商业活动，而该区域完全是一个商业区，具备良好的市场潜力。”
他补充说，市政府计划开发其拥有的土地，“以充分利用资源创造可观收益，并为城市带来积极变化。”
阿丽亚娜电影院在思想解放的20世纪60年代开业
阿里亚纳酒店于1963年开业，其流线型建筑风格映射出当时执政的君主政权试图为这个传统深厚的国家带来的现代化精神。
然而阿富汗很快陷入战乱。1979年苏联入侵该国，到1980年代末，战争席卷全国——苏联支持的总统纳吉布拉政府与美国扶持的军阀及伊斯兰武装联盟交战。纳吉布拉于1992年倒台，随后爆发了血腥的内战。
阿里亚纳剧院损毁严重，多年间一直处于废墟状态。1996年，塔利班占领喀布尔后，开云城内残存的影院也悉数关闭。
一段崭新却短暂的生命延续
在2001年以美国为首的军事行动推翻塔利班政权后，阿里亚纳（Ariana）重获新生，法国政府于2004年协助其完成重建。
印度电影和动作片尤其受欢迎，而阿里亚纳影院也开始放映阿富汗电影，这得益于国内电影业的复兴。
对导演兼演员塔拉什（Talash）而言，正是童年时与兄弟们一同造访阿里亚纳（Ariana）的经历，点燃了他对电影的兴趣。
“正是从这家影院开始，我爱上了电影并投身于这门艺术形式，”他说道。后来，他自己的作品也曾在阿里亚纳影院上映，“这成为我难以忘怀的回忆之一。”
塔拉什表示，这家影院曾是喀布尔居民的文化聚集地，人们会去那里“排解忧愁与烦恼，安抚心灵”。但如今，喀布尔这一重要组成部分已被剥夺。在这个新时代，我们正在倒退，这令人非常痛心。
但他表示，艺术不仅仅存在于建筑之中。希望依然存在。
“未来看似艰难，但并非一片黑暗，”塔拉什说道。“建筑或许会倒塌，但艺术将永存于人们的思想与心灵之中。”
在邻国巴基斯坦，当局曾对印度电影课以重税以限制进口，随后在1965年印巴两国因争议的喜马拉雅地区克什米尔爆发战争后彻底禁映。巴基斯坦的宝莱坞影迷们转而前往喀布尔观看这些热门影片。
其中一位是巴基斯坦电影爱好者兼艺术爱好者苏海布·罗米（Sohaib Romi），他回忆道，1974年曾与叔叔在阿里亚纳影院观看过印度电影《和解》（Samjhauta，意为"妥协"）。
对他而言，这份失去是切肤之痛。我的记忆都埋在阿里亚纳电影院的废墟里了，他说道。
