Revisit the life and artistry of Brian Eno with Eno, a new generative documentary by Gary Hustwit.
Rich with access to hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music, the documentary employs groundbreaking technology to accomplish something that’s never been done before: a feature film that’s never the same twice. Hustwit and creative technologist Brendan Dawes have developed bespoke generative software designed to sequence scenes and create transitions out of Hustwit’s original interviews with Eno, and Eno’s rich archive of hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage, and unreleased music. Each screening of Eno is unique, presenting different scenes, order, music, and meant to be experienced live. The generative and infinitely iterative quality of Eno poetically resonates with the artist’s own creative practice, his methods of using technology to compose music, and his endless deep dive into the mercurial essence of creativity.
Described as “revolutionary” by Screen Daily, Eno is both a worthy celebration of its subject’s talent as well as a milestone in filmmaking.
