The old cinema in Nokhur, Turkmenistan.
Remember the old cinema that I told you about a few frames ago? This is it. In the former Soviet republic going to the cinema was a popular pastime among the Turkmens. That was until former president Türkmenbaşy decided that all cinemas was to be closed, withdrawing all funding in a move to further point peoples attention to the cult of personality built around him.
Even though the new president Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov recently lifted the band this cinema in the mountain village of Nokhur remains closed.
