Following it’s World Premiere at Sundance this year, Groovescooter are excited to announce the Australian Premiere of this groundbreaking new documentary about Brian Eno for the Vivid Festival with director Gary Hustwit here in Australia as a special guest for all our screenings at the Sydney Opera House.
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 the groundbreaking generative documentary ENO: a film that’s different every time it’s shown.
Acclaimed filmmaker Gary Hustwit (Helvetica, Rams, Moog, Skate Dreams) set out to decode Eno’s creative strategies and examine his lifelong search for the meaning of music in the first career-spanning documentary of the legendary and prolific artist. Instead of a by-the-numbers bio-doc, Hustwit and his collaborators invented an approach befitting the iconoclast’s use of new technologies. The new ENO film is therefore the world’s first generative cinematic documentary and, like a musical performance that’s different every night, ENO creates a unique viewing experience for each audience. Utilizing a proprietary software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes, the film has millions of possible variations of scenes and footage drawn from Hustwit’s original interviews and Eno’s rich archive of hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music.
The result is a film that resonates with Eno’s own artistic practice, his methods of using technology to compose music, and his endless deep dive into the mercurial essence of creativity.
With Brian Eno having headlined the first ever Vivid Festival back in 2009 where he curated the Luminous music line-up, we are super excited to be presenting Eno on screen, in what is a return to the Sydney Opera House of sorts, some 15 years later.
