Film-maker entices strangely accommodating adult (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cineaste

'film-maker' is the definition.
(I know that cineaste is a type of film director)

'entices strangely accommodating adult' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'accommodating' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'entices' anagrammed gives 'cineste'.
'cineste' enclosing 'a' is 'CINEASTE'.

(Other definitions for cineaste that I've seen before include "Film buff" , "One sees lots of pictures" , "One often seen at film" , "Movie buff -- tie canes (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
