Brian Eno Documentary Available for Streaming 24 Hours

A highly acclaimed documentary about Brian Eno, known for offering a unique experience every time, is set to be available for streaming at home. This special 24-hour livestream event will kick off on January 24, 2025, at noon E.T.

Coming from Film First and director Gary Hustwit, this event will give fans of the ambient music pioneer a rare chance to witness a comprehensive recounting of Eno’s illustrious career from the comfort of their own homes, following its premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. After the festival, the film made its way to theaters and live screenings. The global streaming premiere announcement coincides with the release of the first official trailer.

The press release reveals that this livestream event goes beyond the typical movie experience thanks in part to the director’s dedication to unraveling Eno’s creative processes in the context of a music documentary. The bulletin explains that Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes came up with a revolutionary, human-coded generative software platform to create a documentary that changes with each viewing.

In addition to groundbreaking technologies, the documentary features never-before-seen footage and unreleased music, offering a fresh approach to storytelling and presenting moments from the artist’s life. The 24-hour livestream event will showcase multiple unique versions of the documentary, generated continuously throughout the day, as well as bonus generative videos like “Nothing Can Ever Be the Same,” a prequel installation from Dawes and Hustwit that premiered at the Venice Biennale.

Streaming access requires tickets, which can be purchased through the provided link. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch this remarkable documentary from the comfort of your couch. Check out the official trailer below.
