Points for a manuscript about Schindler's 'List' (5)
I believe the answer is:
marks
'points' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'manuscript about schindler's list' is the wordplay.
'manuscript' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'schindler's list' becomes 'ark' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ms' going around 'ark' is 'MARKS'.
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for marks that I've seen before include "See 8" , "Visible signs" , "Stains" , "Former German currency" , "Visible impressions" .)
