Eno - Enzian Theater

One Show Only!

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.

Each screening of the film will be a wholly unique experience. Utilizing a proprietary software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes, the documentary 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.

“More than a biographical documentary, Eno emerges as a brilliant and endlessly inspiring creative manifesto.”
– Manuel Betancourt, AV CLUB
“Sleek, seamless, and compelling, though one of the reasons it feels that way is that Hustwit, drawing on 500 hours of film and video from Eno’s personal archives, has made a movie that’s all Brian Eno.”
– Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY
“There’s a pure joy to this documentary, a sense that creativity is miraculous and we ought to be grateful that we get to participate in it.”
– Alissa Wilkinson, NEW YORK TIMES
