Morphology
The meaning 'a person who writes screenplays for films' is directly and compositionally derived from 'film' (movie) modifying 'writer' (a person who composes written works). This noun+noun compounding pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase film writer creates a simple picture: a writer who makes the words and story for a film. That's why it means 'a person who writes scripts for movies'.
