The contest was organised by ‘GoenchoBalcao', Goa's first official online entertainment platform showcasing Goan films, tiatr's, music videos and celebrations. As a part of their first anniversary celebrations, they came forward to host GOSFF17, that was curated specially for college students across Goa with the sole intention of promoting Goa's youth and giving them a platform to shine. The theme for the film fest involved any traditional Goan folklore, occupation, craft, art, history as part of the script and the language major was Konkani .
For this year's inaugural edition , five films were screened at Maquinez Palace , Panaji with the Entertainment Society of Goa as hosting partners. .
