projectionist

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

'one screening' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'i jettison crop that's failed' is the wordplay.
'that's failed' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'jettison'+'crop'='ijettisoncrop'
'ijettisoncrop' anagrammed gives 'PROJECTIONIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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