“This idea that a film has to be set in stone and always linear is obsolete, I think. There’s another possible path here for filmmaking going forward.”

Critics Pick
“Eno” is the groundbreaking generative documentary about visionary musician and artist Brian Eno, a film that’s different every time it’s shown. The film taps into an over 60-year tradition of “generative art” of which Eno himself is part. Drawing from a database of 30 hours of new interviews with Eno and 500 hours of film from Eno's personal archive, a system of rules set down in code by Hustwit and artist-programmer Brendan Dawes results in a different film algorithmically generated for each viewing.
Undeniably, Brian Eno has changed the way modern music is made. For the past 50 years, he has been at the forefront of musical creativity, technology, and artistic innovation. The hugely influential British musician, producer, activist, visual artist and self-described “sonic landscaper” began his career as an original member of the legendary Roxy Music in the early 1970s. As a producer, Brian Eno has helped define and reinvent the sound of some of the most important artists in music, including David Bowie, U2, Talking Heads, Coldplay, and dozens of others. He also composed what may be the most heard piece of music in the world: the startup sound for Microsoft Windows.
