For your pleasure: 'Eno' at the Village East by Angelika

Musician and artist Brian Eno — known for producing David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo and Laurie Anderson, among many others — gets the documentary treatment in a film playing for a week (starting tomorrow) at the Village East by Angelika on Second Avenue at 12th Street. 

In "Eno," the founding member of Roxy Music "reveals his creative processes." 

Here's more: 
In the first career-spanning documentary of the legendary and prolific artist and the world's first generative feature film, director Gary 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.
A different version of the film screens daily from Friday through Jan. 9. Find ticket info here.

There's a Q&A with Hustwit in conversation following the 7:40 p.m. screening on Saturday.
