The first festival was held from October 7 to 14, 1993, and was held biennially until 2001. In 2003 there was no festival.

It has recently begun to gain an international reputation, after it was listed as one of the "A" Festivals. It awards several "Golden Cup" Awards ("Jin Jue" or 金爵) for best film, best director, best actor/actress, and other categories, as well as a "Special Jury Award."
