Greetings! Tomorrow (July 12) “Eno” begins cinema runs at the legendary Film Forum in NYC and select Picturehouse Cinemas in London and across the UK. They’ll show a different version of “Eno” every day. If you’re near Liverpool you can catch a special screening at FACT hosted by Brendan Dawes.

Lots of new reviews are starting to pour in from the “Eno” cinema runs, and the first is this Critic’s Pick from the New York Times! I think writer Alissa Wilkinson really “got” the concept of the film, and it’s definitely worth a read.
“To the extent “Eno” has a single, fixed meaning, it’s about how we, the audience, understand the world around us. Our brains seek out patterns and assign sense where there is none, and thus we become creators with the artist. And the results are both marvelously watchable — you wouldn’t know all this complicated generative stuff was even happening if you went in cold — and inspiring. There’s a pure joy to this documentary, a sense that creativity is miraculous and we ought to be grateful that we get to participate in it. I left both screenings full of ideas for my own work.
The generative framework makes perfect sense for a documentary about a man who’s spent his career rewriting the rules of the possible — not just finding a new way to say something, but changing the act of saying itself.”
Listen to Brian Eno on BBC Radio
This morning, Brian Eno was interviewed on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 Radio show, discussing the film and the soundtrack album, and they also played a bunch of Eno music. It’s free to stream on the BBC website for the next 30 days!
Cheers!

Really pleased that it will be appearing in a cinema near me (I’ve booked next Wednesday’s showing at the Little Theatre in Bath).
