The festival has numerous screenings of the most important Spanish film releases for the previous year, including documentaries and short films. It has awards for the best films of the year as well as honorary awards. The main prize is the 'Golden Biznaga' for best picture (awarded to the Best Spanish picture, and also, in a different category, to the Best Latin-American picture). Other awardees, such as "Critic's Choice" and "Best Direction" receive Silver Biznagas. In addition the festival hosts panel discussions and round-tables on topics of current interest in Spanish cinema.

The first festival was held on March 9 through 17th of 1998. The guest of honor was Fernando Fernán Gómez, and the retrospective was dedicated to Montxo Armendariz. Although originally the festival was held anytime from March through June, since 2008 it has always been held in April.
