Matthew Sweet transports listeners into cinemas around the world. In this programme, he is in the Yara cinema in the centre of Havana.

Matthew Sweet transports listeners into cinemas around the world with a series of short features eavesdropping on their stories, their characters and occasionally trying the snacks.

In this edition, we are going to the Yara cinema in central Havana. A great white-and-red art deco state-funded barn built before the 1959 revolution, most of the films it now shows are pirated DVDs, projected on the enormous screen. But there are some home grown films and signs of a re-emerging local film industry.

Producers: Neil George.
