Film lover can see it when released (8)
I believe the answer is:
cineaste
'film lover' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'can see it when released' is the wordplay.
'when released' indicates anagramming the letters (letters released from their original order).
'can'+'see'+'it'='canseeit'
'canseeit' is an anagram of 'CINEASTE'.
(Other definitions for cineaste that I've seen before include "Movie buff -- tie canes (anag)" , "One often seen at film" , "One sees lots of pictures" , "Film buff" .)
