I believe that HIE is a version of Kodak 2475 Recording Film. If you 
wanted, you could shoot it without a filter and the effect should be 
pretty close. If you want absolutely huge grain develop it in Rodinal or 
FX-1.  Alternately, try Bergger film and develop in the same developers. 
Giving a one-stop "push" will increase the grain at the cost of shadow 
separation. Once you get the effect that you want, shoot a couple of 
frames of a smooth, even-toned, light object. Scan the film. Now use 
this on a layer over the image you want to use. Fade it to get the look 
that you'd like.
