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.
“I think it’s a tool… I don’t necessarily think it’s an existential crisis. I think if you’re looking at it as a creative tool, it’s very exciting,” he told the press conference.
“We really saw it almost like the frosting on the cake. It’s just another layer. It’s another paintbrush. It’s another colour. It’s another way to integrate imagery and sounds and to kind of play with the form.”
Set against the backdrop of Miami’s criminal underbelly and revolving around a veteran hitman, the multi-layered film has been shot entirely through a thermal lens and has been likened to a video game by Korine rather than a traditional movie.

Harmony Korine arrived at 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. Throughout the conference, Korine mimed taking puffs of his cigar.
“We’re wearing the masks because they’re comfortable,” Korine joked. “It’s giving me a scalp massage.”
In addition to discussing “Aggro Dr1ft” — an experimental action film shot entirely in infrared photography that stars Jordi Mollà and rapper Travis Scott as deadly assassins — Korine also elaborated on his goals for Edglrd, which focuses not only on film but also tech and design.
