skeins

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

'films' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'european geese' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'skins' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skeins that I've seen before include "Flocks of geese" , "Lengths of yarn, loosely coiled" , "yarns?" , "Wild goose" , "Hanks of yarn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
