...it avoids direct approach to get wine-themed film (8)
I believe the answer is:
sideways
'get wine-themed film' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'it avoids direct approach' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
'approach' could be 'way' (a way of doing something) and 'way' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sideways that I've seen before include "Not backwards or forwards" , "Lateral movement" , "Edgewise" , "Obliquely" , "Crabwise, at an angle" .)
