Pan art film (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skillet

'pan' is the definition.
(I know that skillet is a type of pan)

'art film' is the wordplay.
'art' becomes 'skill' (I've seen this before).
'film' becomes 'ET' (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial).
'skill'+'et'='SKILLET'

(Other definitions for skillet that I've seen before include "Small cooking pot" , "Cooking-pot" , "Small long-handled pan" , "Metal cooking pot with long handle" , "Small frying pan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
