A group of dreamers from the Film and Television department at the Tel Aviv university, led by aspiring student Laurence Price, establishes a unique student film festival in the hope of bringing to Israel short films, and their creators, from all over the world. Dozens of students from around the world accede to the challenge of visiting Israel, and congregate in the Fastlicht auditorium in the Mexico building, where a screening room was devised from drapes, egg cartons and placards. Aside from screenings and inspiring rendezvous, they enjoy a trip to the Dead Sea organized by the students Doron Tzabari, Ari Folman and Ori Sivan. Esteemed artist Chantal Akerman arrives as the festival's first guest of honor. The famous film bird designed by the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design wins the festival's logo competition and has been its logo ever since
