The festival was started in 2007 and founded by Kansai Time Out writer, Matthew Kaufman, and Kobe-based film director, Darryl Knickrehm. The festival featured a lineup of "Japanese films made by foreign filmmakers." It was the first film festival in Japan of the like. The festival featured 32 films from around the world. Some of the films featured at the festival were Pamela Valente's "Rock N Tokyo", Norman England's "The iDol (film)", Darryl Knickrehm's "The Laborer (Rodosha)", and Rachael Lucas' "Bondi Tsunami"
