A spectator stated, as the line of women and men separated, if a woman wants to play an act it must be Islamic, and to observe Hijab, we are still happy that we come to the cinema again to see and understand our friend’s posters and messages.

Women are not allowed at the moment, they called some of us to come and make films, they allowed us to make entertainment films but avoid partake of women, so if there are no women in our dialogue we cannot get the message of films, because it must be a family in the scene if I am playing acts, I need to have a woman, boy, and a daughter too, an Afghan actor explained.

According to a spectator said, during the presidential government, all women actors were allowed to play dialogues, anyway fortunately those who are interested in cinema came including women and girls, and I demand those who have permission to come and played dialogues here in order to present a useful post for our Afghan society.
