Dasein AI Film Festival

Partiful Event Link 🎟 $13 Admission # Being at the Edge of Presence The first Dasein AI Film Festival explored a specific frontier: the relationship between humanity, technology, consciousness, and the unknown. Now, the field expands. For our second screening, we present a new international selection of films created by artists from around the world. These films are not limited to artificial intelligence, altered consciousness, or technological transformation. They also explore the ordinary subjects that shape human life: love, memory, loneliness, identity, family, conflict, desire, humor, belonging, loss, and hope. Dasein means “being there.” Inspired by Martin Heidegger’s concept of Dasein—the experience of existing in relation to the world—this screening creates a space where different lives, cultures, emotions, and perspectives can meet. Each filmmaker approaches the world from a different place. Together, their films form something larger: a collective feeling. A portrait of what artists around the world are sensing, questioning, fearing, remembering, and imagining at this moment in history. This is a new curation. Less restricted. More open. Not defined by one subject, genre, or technology, but connected through the act of expression. Not a search for one universal answer, but an encounter with many ways of being. ⸻ ## PROGRAM FORMAT • Curated international short-film screening • 10–15 selected films • Screening runtime: approximately 90 minutes • Audience Award • Multiple winners may be announced when the votes align ⸻ A shared cinematic experience. A space to witness how artists from different parts of the world experience the same world differently—and how, beneath those differences, certain feelings remain universal. Followed by conversation, connection, and the continuation of the Dasein Creative Circle. ⸻ 📍 Upcider 1160 Polk St, Floor 2 San Francisco, CA 🗓 Thursday, July 23, 2026 🕕 Screening: 6:00 PM–7:30 PM 🎟 $13 Admission More information: www.daseinfilmfestival.com — Dasein Creative Circle A year-round space where filmmakers, artists, technologists, writers, philosophers, and curious minds can meet, exchange ideas, collaborate, and co-evolve. ―――――――――― SF Stuff To Do Do not edit this event! changes will be overwritten
