The festival was established in 1996, as the successor to the Les écrans de l'histoire film festival.[2] The 1996 festival was focussed on the Spanish Civil War, with later festivals showcasing Spanish cinema in general.[2] The festival is supported by the Spanish government bodies Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) and Instituto Cervantes.[3]

Since 1997, the festival's main competition has presented full-length films from Spain previously unreleased in France, which compete for the Golden Violet award.[4][5] There are also awards for best director, actress, actor, screenplay, score, and cinematography.[6]
