Whether you realize it or not, you’re probably a huge fan of Brian Eno. In addition to creating some of the most groundbreaking albums of the past 50 years, Eno has also produced critically-acclaimed albums from many of the world’s most influential bands and performers – acts as wide-ranging as Roxy Music, U2, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Seun Kuti, and countless others. He even created the unmistakable startup sound for the Microsoft Operating System. So, chances are, if you don’t think you’re familiar with Eno’s work, you’ve actually heard the results of his artistic labors.
A self-described “non-musician”, Brian Eno helped to pioneer the establishment of many genres like ambient music, new wave and no wave, art rock, and electronica, all the while approaching his solo and collaborative projects from a uniquely philosophical and method-based standpoint rather than relying on any inherent musical talent. The results have been a consistent flow of remarkable music and visual art that has kept him at the forefront of an industry where true creativity is often in short supply.
Filmmaker Gary Hustwit, with unparalleled access to Eno’s vast audio and visual archive (including hundreds of hours of never-before-heard/seen material), has assembled ENO, a career-spanning documentary that takes viewers inside the life and mind of one of the most creative and prolific musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. Moreover, in keeping with Eno’s penchant for using generative technologies to create A/V art projects that unfold uniquely each time they are exhibited, Hustwit’s film uses bespoke software that rearranges the scenes, interviews, transitions, and music for each unique showing of ENO – in other words, no two screenings of the film will be exactly alike. In fact, it has been estimated that there are potentially 52 quintillion different versions of the film to be seen!
Our screening of ENO will include a 15-20 minute on-screen, pre-recorded Q&A with director Gary Hustwit
