Dasein - Continuum

The Continuum — June Screening

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM Upcider, 1160 Polk St FL 2, San Francisco, CA $13 — 50 spots

Sponsored by the Empathetic AI Institute

The first Dasein AI Film Festival took place on April 26, 2026. 22 films screened. 7 awards presented. Two parts, a full room, and conversations that continued long after the final screening ended.

Dasein now continues.

The Continuum is the next gathering — built from submissions that did not align with the first edition's specific theme, not because they lacked strength, but because they existed beyond its frame. This is where they are seen.

The theme this time opens wider. Not human. Not machine. But being itself — the condition of existing in relation to a world that is shifting faster than language can follow.

Program Format 10 to 15 curated short films Total runtime under 100 minutes

One award: Audience Award

Followed by conversation, connection, and the continuation of the Dasein Creative Circle.

Dasein is now a year-round structure — bi-monthly screenings, each with a new theme, building toward a larger second festival in 2027. Every edition is a different entry point into the same question: what does it mean to be here, now, in this?

RSVP — $13
