Strands #282
“Something to see”

Hi Strands fans. After yesterday's horrorshow of a puzzle, I'm happy to report I completed this one without assistance - though only because I stumbled across my first answer while hunting clue words for the section above.
The word in question was FLICK, and that combined with the theme of "Something to see" made me realize this was about things you can see at the cinema. I duly found PICTURE above it, and MOVIE in the bottom-right corner.
Enough space was clear for me to get the spangram of CINEMATIC, and the word SHORT curled around the end of it.
I then found TALKIE in the top left, followed by FILM near the bottom. That just left FEATURE spelt backwards to complete the puzzle without fuss.
