JUST ADDED! Because of advance demand, we’ve added a second screening
of ENO on Thursday, October 10! A completely different version!

A special “ENO–ART-HOUSE,” version of the film  – created only for theaters!

The screenings on Oct 8 and Oct 10 will be completely different films!

Join us for a special ENO pre-screening listening party, presented by Art Sound Language, the amazing record and book shop at 5520 Connecticut Ave (in the Chevy Chase Arcade). ASL will spin a selection of classic Eno records prior to both screenings in the historic Avalon 1 auditorium and will have a selection of LPs and books for sale. Come early or stay late and get 10% off all Eno related releases before or after the show!

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.

Utilizing a proprietary software system developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes, Eno 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.

TWO SHOWS ONLY!
Tuesday, October 8 & Thursday, October 10 @ 8PM in Avalon 1
