It was the only film festival in socialist countries that attracted big Hollywood stars such as Jack Nicholson, Kirk Douglas, Robert De Niro, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and famous directors like Miloš Forman, Francis Ford Coppola, Roman Polanski, Sam Peckinpah, Pier Paolo Pasolini etc.

The festival's significance declined in the 1990s, mostly due to the international embargo FR Yugoslavia was under at the time. In 1993 and 1994, it was not even held, and in 1997, it was interrupted in protest against police brutality taking place against student protesters.

However, FEST still attracts numerous movie buffs. In 2007, 98,191 tickets were sold for around 80 films.[3]

In 2007, it was opened by actress Catherine Deneuve and in 2009 by actor Ralph Fiennes.
