The Rabat International Author Film Festival (FICAR) (Festival International du Cinema D'Auteur de Rabat) is dedicated to the Author cinema, a true cinema of art and thought in all its forms, to brave films, demanding, intelligent, even radicals who destroy the clichés; films that have an urgency and a personal writing dedicated to humanity in all its forms.

The purpose of the FICAR is to meet and know the films, the authors and the public.
The FICAR is an alternative practice to counter the industrial machine that has globalized the taste and erased the right to be different. a festival against a predatory cinema against the totalitarianism of taste or its active participation in the construction of the cathedral of our imagination;
The FICAR allows the cinema to be "another country on the map", a new continent of which we are the citizens.

Cinema citizens unite you; we invite you to the "scent of the dark room" where all dreams converge; Come dream together in a "second womb" where everyone is the same in "a time found".
