Description

Visionary musician and artist Brian Eno — known for producing David Bowie, U2, Talking Heads, among many others; pioneering the genre of ambient music; and releasing more than 40 solo and collaboration albums — reveals his creative processes in Eno, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gary Hustwit ("HELVETICA").

In the first career-spanning documentary of the legendary artist and the world’s first generative feature film, Hustwit set out to decode Eno's creative strategies and examine his lifelong search for the meaning of music. 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.

Eno uses a special software system to create millions of different storytelling variations. This approach to storytelling is groundbreaking and reflects Eno's artistic practice, his use of technology to compose music, and his relentless pursuit of creativity.
