Harmony Korine to Premiere Experimental Film Baby Invasion in New York

Filmmaker Harmony Korine is set to unveil his latest experimental project, Baby Invasion, at its New York premiere. This unique immersive screening will take place at the Knockdown Center in Queens on March 21. In an innovative twist, Korine, in collaboration with his digital studio Edglrd, will present a reinterpreted version of the film, incorporating live DJ techniques to enhance the cinematic experience. An original score by renowned artist Burial will accompany the visuals, adding a rich auditory layer to the screening. The event will also feature live DJ performances from Korine, Eyedress, and Yves Tumor following the film presentation.

Set within the realm of a hyper-realistic, multiplayer first-person shooter game, Baby Invasion follows a band of mercenaries who conceal their identities behind whimsical baby face avatars. The gameplay involves looting lavish mansions belonging to the elite, offering players the chance to delve into a myriad of chaotic scenarios before the time limit elapses.

This ambitious film first debuted at the prestigious Venice Film Festival last year, captivating audiences with its unconventional approach to storytelling and engagement.
