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

'it's not made still but it's still made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'it's not made still but it's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'still' could be 'pic' (short for picture) and 'pic' is found in the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for motion picture that I've seen before include "Cinema film" , "entertainment" , "Double Indemnity, say" , "Movie" , "Film (US)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
