Lifted frame, nicely framing pictures (6)

I believe the answer is:

cinema

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

'pictures' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lifted frame nicely framing' is the wordplay.
'CINEMA' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cinema that I've seen before include "Film theatre" , "(Building for) the movies" , "Modern art" , "(Building showing) films" , "Screening" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
