ENO TRAILER |

 Directed by Gary Hustwit. Friday, July 12 – Thursday, July 25 at Film Forum.

Limited screenings • A different version screened each day


Filmmaker Gary Hustwit has created first career-spanning documentary about visionary musician and artist Brian Eno. This innovative bio-doc also elevates the documentary form to become an evergreen, algorithmic performance. Hustwit and creative technologist Brendan Dawes have developed a 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. "Eno" opens July 12, 2024 at Film Forum in New York City and Picturehouse Cinemas across England.





as an art ‘idea’ it is mildly interesting, smacks of the dada and surrealist moment but as a paying customer for ‘product’ not so much. . .rich people’s wallpaper . . . . . . . you have to go every time to see the whole thing or do you never ‘see' it? . . . wonder if anyone might piss in it?
