Pride march finally banned influential film director (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auteur

'film director' is the definition.
(term for a film director with a distinct style)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for auteur that I've seen before include "Film director whose work has a distinctively personal quality" , "director who's unique" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
