Interesting facts

Eno is a 2024 documentary film about the English musician and producer Brian Eno, produced and directed by Gary Hustwit. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2024.

Production

The film uses a computer program (pseudorandom number generator) to select footage (Segments) and present the film so that a different version is shown each time it is screened. The film draws from 30 hours of interviews with Brian Eno and 500 hours of footage from Eno’s archive.

Alongside Hustwit, artist Brendan Dawes designed the Brain One software (an anagram of Brian Eno), the generative technology which powers the film. For live screenings of the film, Swedish technology company Teenage Engineering designed B-1, a hardware version of the generative software. In July 2024, The New York Times estimated that 52 quintillion versions of the film could be generated by Brain One.
