- The Abitibi-Témiscamingue International Film Festival (French: Festival du cinéma international en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, FCIAT) is an annual film festival, which takes place in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. The festival presents a program of Canadian and international films in late October and early November each year. The festival was launched in 1982. It was an expansion of the Semaine du cinéma régional, a festival launched in 1977 which concentrated exclusively on films made in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. Festival programmer Anne-France Thibault has compared it to the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, in that both festivals became popular cultural events and important stops on the Canadian film festival circuit despite having been launched in blue-collar mining communities removed from Canada's traditional cultural meccas. While the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada forced nearly all other Canadian film festivals to either cancel their 2020 programs or shift to an online streaming model, the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region's very low rate of COVID-19 cases made it one of the few film festivals in the country that was able to hold physical screenings. Despite the reduced risk, social distancing protocols, including mandatory masks, sanitizer stations and reduced audience sizes, were still maintained for audience safety. (en)
