What we’re about
DASEIN CREATIVE CIRCLE brings together people from many different creative fields in one shared space.
Design, film, writing, philosophy, psychology, wearable art, and the ongoing context of AI and film festivals are part of the circle. We also host separate meetings and intellectual conversations, as well as co-writing groups for scripts. Writers, filmmakers, designers, and engineers may collaborate to explore how scripts and ideas can be thoughtfully translated into AI films, approaching technology in a philosophical, conscious, and intentional way, with an emphasis on creating shared value.
This circle is built around warmth, care, and collaboration. It exists as a space to support one another in a world that often feels fast, demanding, and driven by pressure. Rather than focusing on competition or outcomes, we focus on process, presence, and collective creation.
DASEIN CREATIVE CIRCLE is a place to enjoy the life we are living, to be present in the time given, and to release some of the stress and future worries many of us carry. Through creating together, talking together, and making space for one another, we aim to soften anxiety and reconnect with creativity as a shared human experience.
Think freely. Create with intention.

What does it mean to exist in an era shaped by artificial intelligence?
The Dasein AI Film Festival is a curated screening event dedicated to short films that explore consciousness, identity, memory, authorship, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines through the cinematic use of AI.
Inspired by the philosophical concept of Dasein the awareness of one’s presence and relationship to the world this festival presents films that question how emerging technologies reshape perception, storytelling, and meaning itself.
Rather than spectacle, Dasein highlights cinema as inquiry. These works reflect on how images are generated, how narratives are co-authored with algorithms, and how human intention transforms when intelligence is no longer exclusively human.
The evening is designed as a shared experience: collective viewing followed by conversation and connection among filmmakers, jury members, artists, and guests.
Program Format
• Curated short film screenings (most films under 5 minutes)
• Official laurels awarded to all selected winners
• Post-screening dialogue and community gathering
This is not just a screening. It is a space for reflection, exchange, and presence at the threshold of art and technology.
