How did the concept of author come into being in foreign films?

The author's concept originated from the creativity of the French film industry.

The concept of author was formed as a creative idea in the French film industry in 1950s, and it is also called the author theory or the author policy theory. This concept can be traced back to the article "Camera-fountain pen, the birth of the new avant-garde" published by French director Ya Astrucci in 1948. According to this theory, film is a unique art form, and the director can create on the screen through the camera, which is similar to the writer's writing with a pen. This concept has been further explained and applied by critics of the "film handbook school" and has become a theory that attaches importance to the director's personality. It has a direct impact on the French "new wave" film movement and promoted the director's position and autonomy in film creation on a global scale. The author's concept provides directors with greater creative freedom, allowing them to express their unique artistic vision and creativity through film works.
