Don’t miss this special one-night-only screening of the groundbreaking and acclaimed “generative documentary” about visionary artist Brian Eno that’s different every time it’s shown! This version of the film screening at O Cinema will never be seen again, and will include an exclusive recorded Q&A with director Gary Hustwit immediately following the film.
Maverick recording artist Brian Eno co-founded Roxy Music, produced breakthrough albums for David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, and U2, and pioneered innovative work in ambient music. A renowned explorer of technology and “oblique strategies,” he is an unlikely subject for a conventional documentary; but in this first-of-its-kind portrait, Gary Hustwit applies Eno’s own concept of “generative” art: the filmmaker’s proprietary technology, developed with digital artist Brendan Dawes, produces a different movie every time it’s screened, presenting variations in sequence, music, and scenes – including some with such collaborators as Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, David Bowie, U2, and others. Defying the hagiographic impulses of the music doc genre, ENO draws from original interviews and the artist’s own staggering archive of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music.
