The series was created in 1956 by a group of Eau Claire citizens interested in the foreign film as an art form. Films screened first in Kjer Theatre, and were open to the community on a subscription basis. In 1968, like The Forum and the Artists Series, the International Film Series was assimilated into the university structure, with an administrative committee composed of students, faculty-staff and community members. The International Film Committee recommends policies for the operation of the international film program, and selects films for the program each semester.
