ENO

Thursday, October 10 7pm

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, RAMS).

In the first career-spanning documentary of the legendary and prolific 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, as well as Hustwit’s original interviews.

Utilizing a proprietary software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes, Eno
offers millions of possible variations and ushers in a groundbreaking approach to storytelling. The
result is a viewing experience that resonates with Eno’s own artistic practice, his use of technology to
compose music, and the mercurial essence of creativity as his endless pursuit.
