The festival was founded in 1993, by the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and is held every two years at the campus of the Filmakademie. Since 2001, the festival has been organized by the Film- and Medienfestival gGmbH, in cooperation with the Filmakademie. The most important partner is our co-organizer Wüstenrot Stiftung. Since 2005 the festival is held under the new name Europäische Kurzfilmbiennale Ludwigsburg (Ludwigsburg European Short Film Biennale).
