International Festival

Short film festival

Feature film festival

The FIC AUTOR (Author's International Film Festival) is interested in unique and artistic films that exceed the limits of traditional storytelling. We look for Feature and Short Films that reflect the director's personal creative vision, and a style that is distinct enough to shine through the collective process.

WE ONLY CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOW IN YOUR FILM, how CREATIVE you are and how you tell the story, that's it. We don't care if your film has recognized stars or unknown names, if it was shot with an Arri or a DSLR, if it has been accepted to a thousand festivals or none. We don’t base our decisions regarding your gender, sexual orientation, color of your skin, or ethnicity like other festivals. We are against the politics and bureaucracy that flood the film industry. [...]

Short film festival

Road Movie Festival™ is a new international short film festival organized by the Auto Rétro Cinéma association in La Teste-de-Buch (Arcachon Bay, France). Its first edition will take place September 17-19, 2027.

The festival explores the road movie in its broadest sense: not simply a film set in a car, but any story where movement — physical or inner — drives the narrative. Adventure, self-discovery, crossing a landscape: the journey becomes the true dramatic engine of the film, regardless of the means of travel, or even its absence.

The official selection features 15 to 20 short films competing for the Grand Prix and official awards. The festival also offers out-of-competition sections (Animation Focus, Documentary Focus, Carte Blanche) as well as a Young Audience program [...]
