Dasein Creative Circle returns with Emergence, our second bi-monthly community screening following the first annual Dasein AI Film Festival and July’s Dasein Continuum event.
This international one-hour film program will present a new selection of short works exploring artificial intelligence, experimental cinema, technology, consciousness, and contemporary storytelling.
The evening is open to everyone, including filmmakers, artists, technologists, students, and anyone curious about where AI filmmaking stands today, what new artistic possibilities are emerging, and how these tools may shape the future of cinema.
Films submitted by creators from around the world will explore subjects including memory, identity, loneliness, relationships, perception, humor, mortality, and human connection.
The screening will be followed by an Audience Choice vote, conversation, and a relaxed community gathering at Upcider.
Dasein is an international AI film festival with a larger annual edition and intimate screenings held approximately every two months throughout the year.
A new screening. New films. The same growing creative circle.
