ABEPIC was founded on February 3, 2017, in Valence by five professionals: an art therapist, two artists, a nursing assistant, and a home care worker. The association is based on Digital Storytelling, a Quebec-inspired approach that uses digital tools to tell personal stories.

Focused on the Ardèche region since 2021, the organization now operates through volunteer work and hosts screening and discussion events in various facilities, in addition to the weekly workshops that contribute to the film catalog presented at the festival.
