I believe the answer is:

leaflet

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

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

'meadow used by fellow left with film' is the wordplay.
'meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'used by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fellow left' becomes 'fl' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'film' becomes 'ET' (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial).
'lea'+'fl'+'et'='LEAFLET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leaflet that I've seen before include "Flier" , "Tract" , "Publication on single sheet" , "Small information sheet" , "very little greenery" .)
