Former enfante terrible filmmaker Harmony Korine (“Gummo“) has said he’s bored with conventional moviemaking and thinks video games, A.I., and experiential films are the way of the future. And well, he’s really putting his money where his mouth is with “Argro Dr1ft,” his latest feature, an experimental assassin movie that debuted at the Venice Film Festival last year (read our review).
Today, Korine’s Miami-based multimedia company EDGLRD (pronounced “edgelord”) announces the limited theatrical release of “Aggro Drf1t.” For one week only, this May 10-16, 2024, Korine’s new experimental action will screen at independent theaters across nearly 20 key locations nationwide: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York, Portland, Raleigh, San Francisco, and Washington DC.
The limited theatrical release provides a special opportunity for fans across the country to experience the film on the big screen. “Aggro Drf1t” made a successful run at film festivals in Venice, Toronto, and New York last fall, as well as sold-out experiential screenings as part of the “Aggro Drf1t” tour in Los Angeles and New York. The tour will make stops in New York, London, and Tokyo this spring, giving audiences the opportunity to view the film alongside DJ sets by Harmony Korine/EDGLRD, AraabMuzik, Evian Christ, and special guests. The film features Jordi Molla and Travis Scott.
Here’s the official synopsis, and note the look because this movie was shot entirely on thermal lenses that look like a cross between night vision and the heat vision look of the “Predator” movies.
Shot entirely through thermal lens, AGGRO DR1FT takes place in the seedy domain of Miami’s criminal underbelly. The movie follows a seasoned hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target and navigates a twisted world where violence and madness reign supreme. Tensions unravel, leading to a psychedelic journey that blurs the lines between predator and prey. T
“Over the past six months, the ‘AGGRO DR1FT’ experience has traveled from movie theaters to galleries, strip clubs, and music venues,” said Eric Kohn, Head of Film Strategy and Development at EDGLRD. “We’re excited to bring the journey full circle so more audiences can see the film as we prepare for EDGLRD’s next chapter.”
