Brian Eno biopic "Eno" screens at Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, Monday

"Eno," Gary Hustwit's new look at musician/producer Brian Eno is presented by the director tonight at 6:30 pm. Watch a chat below.


Here's the scoop...

Famed producer, musician, and artist Brian Eno (Talking Heads, David Bowie) is no ordinary creator. To tell the story of his 50-year career, acclaimed director Gary Hustwit had to do something different. Using generative technology, Hustwit constructs the film on stage, live in real-time. This groundbreaking new technology constructs an evergreen performance and a different cinematic experience at each screening, Eno reveals new, previously unreleased music and artworks from over 500 hours of archive to track a creative evolution from art student to ambient music pioneer. Eno is principled, engaged and playful as he guides us through a life that uses art as its guiding principle.Join this original documentary filmmaking process underlining the relationship between technology and creativity. 

Accompanying the new film is a soundtrack that serves as a companion audio journey touching on Eno’s output throughout his rich career. The 17 tracks included on the album feature work from Eno's early solo outings such as 1974’s ‘Taking Tiger Mountain’ and 75’s ‘Another Green World’, acclaimed collaborations with the likes of David Byrne, John Cale, Cluster and more recently, Fred again… all the way through to music from his latest album, ‘FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE’, and a live recording of "By This River" from his 2021 appearance at the Acropolis in Athens with brother, Roger (watch a clip below). Eno: The Official Motion Picture Soundtrack is available right here. Check out the new Brian Eno recording "All I Remember" which closes the film following a chat with director Gary Hustwit below.
