Chief edited film with reduced information (5)
I believe the answer is:
fiche
'film with reduced information' is the definition.
'fiche' can be an answer for 'film' (I have seen 'Small film' mean 'fiche' so perhaps 'film' could also mean 'fiche'). I am not sure about the 'with reduced information' bit.
'chief edited' is the wordplay.
'edited' is an anagram indicator.
'chief' anagrammed gives 'FICHE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fiche that I've seen before include "Archived record" , "data store" , "Card bearing data" , "Small film" , "bit of film" .)
