Deep Dive with Drift

IN-EDIT is back! From 13 to 23 April the fifth edition of the music documentary festival takes place at the Melkweg. Next to film screenings the festival has Industry Meetings, including the Deep Dive with Drift.

The Industry Meetings is a yearly gathering for filmmakers and industry professionals of the field of music documentary, and a platform for creators to meet, discuss and learn. A place where new talents meet the experts, where new projects are developed, where the cutting edge of the industry is discussed, where networking is as fun as fruitful, where music and film join forces, where film and new media meet. For the 5th edition of IN-EDIT the overarching theme of the Industry Meetings is “Looking Back – The power of the archive”.

"Introducing 'DRIFT,' the podcast that's not just a podcast—it's your personalised ticket to the whimsically far-future landscapes of the Netherlands. DRIFT is a fictional audio experience rooted in scientific fact and real world data. It tells the story of a country shaped by water, technology and an overconfident species: the humans of the Netherlands 500 years into the future. An octopus narrator guides you through a post-climate-crisis country where the bio- & meta-data rhythms of your current earth generate the content for your future DRIFT earth. DRIFT’s episodes are co-created by external elements, clicked together like a collection of LEGO bricks. And whether you listen to it again tomorrow or next year: the experience will never be the same. The DRIFT listening experience can change with the current of the seas and the phases of the moon. And it will adapt itself, for instance, to the amount of planes leaving Schiphol airport. This innovative production blends a new dynamic (almost interactive) way of listening via your favourite podcast app, with a narrative world you can explore while pressing play, again and again. So think of DRIFT as an open world podcast. An experience in which you follow your own curiosity, just like in an immersive theatre play. 

Are you curious? Do you want to try it yourself? Come to Deep Dive with DRIFT, and be our early test-audience for a slice of this experience. Please make sure to bring a phone with a podcast app and headphones with you.
