OUFF provides a platform for showcasing student-made films via termly screenings and hosts other film-related events throughout the year, including talks from industry professionals and filmmaking workshops.
Its first production was the 1982 feature film Privileged, starring Hugh Grant, James Wilby, Imogen Stubbs and Mark Williams.
The film was directed by Michael Hoffman with John Schlesinger, produced by Rick Stevenson and Mark Bentley and with a score by Rachel Portman.
OUFF now hosts their annual Oxford University Short Film Festival (OUSFF).
The Festival took different shapes across the years, starting more officially in 2022 after the Covid-19 Pandemic, accepting submissions from contemporary University of Oxford students and hosting a range of speakers such as Philippa Lowthorpe and Ben Willibond.
