A Non-Fiction Anthology Series by Garret Harkawik
Index Drift is a confounding and portentous new documentary anthology series. Each installment will feature self-contained films in addition to ongoing stories. The first installment is complete and is made up of seven chapters. The second installment is currently in post-production.
Index Drift 1 (Through a Deep Culture)
Through a Deep Culture focuses on two main stories, that of Jesse Bessette (AKA, the Bennington Batman) and the Our Lady of Ephesus shrine. It premiered at Plex Arts Fest in Burlington in Spring of 2024. It then screened both as a whole and as chapters.
The screening history is as follows:
Idioms Drift Above Us (Index Drift 1.1) / MMFF / August 2023
Index Drift 1 (Through a Deep Culture) / Plex Arts // May 2024
Mother’s House (Index Drift 1.5) / VTFFF / May 2024

I’m still in the process of programming screenings of ID1 and hope to have a few more listed soon.
