The festival was founded in 1986 at the initiative of students of TAU Department of Film and Television, Tel-Aviv. The festival is considered the most important main stage show young cinema in and largest festival of its kind in the world.
The festival presents hundreds of student films from around the world in two main competitions: an Israeli competition and an international competition.
