To drum up hype for EDGLRD, his new creative collective/design studio, Harmony Korine put one of America’s greatest living filmmakers in his sights. EW reports (via a new GQ profile) that, with the recent advances in gaming technology (the same Korine uses to make his new film “Aggro Dr1ft“), videogames now look better than movies visually.
Todd Haynes will be honored with the Zurich Film Festival’s A Tribute To… Award at its upcoming 19th edition.
the atomic bomb, a revisionist doll and CGI Harrison Ford have gobbled up our attention, for better or worse, but not because any of those varied titles have much heart.Then there’s the “The Holdovers,” directed by Alexander Payne, which is set during frigid Christmastime at a Northeast boarding school that’s nearly empty of students. The lovable dramedy, which just screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, is blanketed in snow and ice — and it’s the warmest cinematic experience you’ll have all year. Running time: 133 minutes.
Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Kaitlyn Dever is battling an alien invader in the trailer for Brian Duffield’s thriller “No One Will Save You,” which is set to premiere via Hulu on Sept. 22. Dever stars as Brynn Adams — a woman who comes face to face with an alien home invader.

The 37 year old actress is already mum to Evelyn, seven, and Wilfred, five, who she shares with her Mumford & Sons musician husband, Marcus, 36.

Ellise Shafer Harmony Korine’s “Aggro Dr1ft” received a 10-minute standing ovation after its premiere at Venice Film Festival, despite a flurry of walkouts. Though some audience members left as soon as the experimental action film finished (and at least 25 departed before that), Korine’s hardcore fans stuck around for a rousing 10-minute ovation. As Korine greeted the crowd and did a happy dance, chants of “Harmony! Harmony! Harmony!” rang out.
Ten years after “Spring Breakers,” the neon pinks and greens of Harmony Korine’s mainstream breakthrough return in an Internet-inflected and even more abstract ode to the thug life, with seriously mixed results. To call “Aggro Dr1ft” stupid or silly isn’t wrong, but it is missing the point.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic I have seen the future of cinema, and it is “Aggro Dr1ft,” a neon-hued outlaw eyegasm from the director of ”Spring Breakers.” There will likely never be another film like it. Even so, it’s clear that Harmony Korine’s immersive iridescent plunge into the world and psyche of a serial killer points the way down fresh avenues for the medium to explore.
Harmony Korine has said he embraced AI technology for the making of his new experimental film Aggro Dr1ft which world premieres Out of Competition at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
Ellise Shafer Harmony Korine arrived to the Venice Film Festival press conference for his latest film, “Aggro Dr1ft,” wearing a devilish mask inspired by the movie with a cigar in hand. Korine was joined by “Aggro Dr1ft” visual effects artist Joao Rosa and Eric Kohn, the newly announced head of film strategy and development at his company EDGLRD. All three sported horned masks with bee-like eyes — Korine’s was yellow while Rosa wore a white mask and Kohn donned a black one.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Harmony Korine used to be a movie junkie, someone who’d watch anything and everything. These days, when people recommend a movie, “I’ll look at it and I feel nothing, like dead inside,” says the guy whose own films, from “Spring Breakers” to the controversial screenplay for Larry Clark’s “Kids,” are nothing if not disruptive. “Watching a lot of this shit, you really feel the algorithms,” he says the day before receiving the Pardo d’onore Manor prize at the Locarno Film Festival.
slammed the show for being “nasty,” and overly salacious, while behind-the-scenes reports pointed to a troubled production. “The Idol” is far from the first high-profile buzzy show that crashed and burned. Here’s a look at some others.
While he’s now 50 years old, former enfante terrible filmmaker Harmony Korine is still a little mischievous boy at heart. While he’s seemingly mellowed somewhat—and kinda stopped telling tall tales— unless his recent comments about potentially directing a Terrence Malick script is one of his fibs—he’s also not against doing wild experimental sh*t.
EDGLRD—the new multidisciplinary design collective founded by filmmaker and artist Harmony Korine—has named Eric Kohn as Head of Strategy and Development, Film. Kohn comes to EDGLRD from his position as VP, Editorial Strategy and Executive Editor at IndieWire, where he has worked for over 16 years. Kohn will officially assume the position on August 30, 2023.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Lane Factor spent most of his teen years on camera, growing up on FX’s “Reservation Dogs.” The hitseries premiered in 2021 and comes to an end in September after three seasons. Factor plays Cheese Williams, one of the show’s four Indigenous teenagers living on the “rez” in rural Oklahoma. The Oklahoma native, who is of Creek-Seminole and Caddo descent, talked to Variety before the SAG-AFTRA strike about learning the craft, how the cast and crew helped him overcome his anxiety andworking with Steven Spielberg in “The Fabelmans.” What has the journey been like for you, getting to grow up on TV as Cheese and taking him through this final season? It’s been so amazing.
Harmony Korine has never made “normal” films. Even his most straightforward feature, probably 2019’s “The Beach Bum,” is pretty subversive by traditional standards.
Ethan Shanfeld Harmony Korine has finally pulled back the curtain on Edglrd (pronounced “Edgelord”), his Florida-based creative collective and design studio that makes, among other things, films, video games and films that are playable as video games. In a lengthy interview with GQ, the “Gummo” and “Spring Breakers” director showed off Edglrd’s animation, imaging and AI technology, which he used to create his newest movie, “Aggro Dr1ft,” starring Travis Scott and Jordi Mollà.
Even before it was announced as part of the lineup of this year’s Venice Film Festival, there have been questions and anticipation regarding Harmony Korine’s upcoming film, “Aggro Dr1ft.” Was it really shot entirely in infrared? Is it just a stunt? How does Travis Scott figure into all of this? Well, we don’t have a ton of answers right now, but according to Korine, he’s not even sure anything like it has existed before now.
