The author's film is an idea of American film industry in 1950s. Really or not?

As a creative idea, author film was formed in the French film industry in 1950s, and it is also called author theory or author policy theory. Its theoretical origin stems from the article "Camera-fountain pen, the birth of the new avant-garde" published by the famous French director Ya Astrucci in 1948. This paper holds that film has become a tool with a unique language, which can freely express thoughts and feelings, just like a writer writing with a pen.
