Featuring a post-film Q&A with Gary Hustwit and special guests
The Chicago Premiere performance of Gary Hustwit's new generative documentary, created live in real time.
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 over 40 solo and collaboration albums — reveals his creative processes in this groundbreaking generative documentary: a film that’s different every time it’s shown.
"Eno" utilizes a first-of-its-kind generative software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes to combine new interviews with 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.
"Partly a piece of art, partly an experiment in technology, 'Eno' is a film that changes with every screening" -The Wrap
"Groundbreaking." -Rolling Stone
“Sleek, seamless, and compelling" -Variety
