British films enter the selection starting 1989 enabling the creation of the European competition in 1992.
Starting 1995, the festival strengthens its European dimension by inviting a new European country each year and doing numerous screenings focusing on a specific country.
This is how many exchanges with European cities such as Hamburg (Germany), Vila do Conde (Portugal), Tampere (Finland) happened.

From 1999, the Estran contest supports screenwriting of short fictions and helps Breton directors.
