Matthew Sweet transports listeners into cinemas located around the world with a series of short features, eavesdropping on their stories, their characters and occasionally trying the snacks. Today Matthew is in the Bey-oh-loo Cinema - hidden inside a genteel-looking shopping arcade in Istanbul where the public lap up home-grown films. A decade ago Turkey was struggling to produce ten movies a year. Last year, Turkish cinemas screened 70 new home-grown films, mostly funded by the government. But what happens when film meets religion?
