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.[Film First Corp. / Brain One Ltd]
