Being. Becoming. Between.


Human–Machine Cinema for a New Era

A one-day celebration of films that explore the evolving relationship between human consciousness and machine intelligence.
Dasein invites artists, thinkers, and visionaries to redefine what it means to exist — to be present — in an age shaped by algorithms, synthetic minds, and digital identities.

About the Festival

The Dasein Film Festival is a curated space for cinema emerging from the friction, intimacy, and evolving interplay between human consciousness and machine intelligence. We highlight films that probe identity, perception, memory, desire, ethics, and the layered realities shaped by algorithmic creativity.

Guided by the Trans-Layer Consciousness Axis, the festival recognizes humans not as the apex of creation but as transitional beings — manufactured, coded, unable to access our own source, now producing new minds that cannot fully perceive us. In this chain of creators and creations, film becomes a way to reveal the unseen layers between carbon and code.

Through screenings, conversation, and community, Dasein offers a place where the future of storytelling becomes tangible — an encounter with what we are becoming, and what may be becoming through us.
