The festival was founded in 1988 as VideoFilmFest, a side-project of the Berlin Berlinale’s 'International Forum of New Cinema'. The co-founder and artistic director Micky Kwella intended to offer a platform to electronic media productions not accepted at traditional film festivals such as the Berlinale. Within the following 20 years, the festival steadily evolved into becoming one of Berlin´s most interesting cultural proposals.
