Expert handling turnover in the cinema? (13)

I believe the answer is:

projectionist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cinema?' is the definition.
I know that 'cinema' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'expert handling turnover in the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'expert' could be 'pro' (short for professional) and 'pro' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for projectionist that I've seen before include "Cinema employee" , "Cinema worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
