Film Forum

Gary Hustwit's generative documentary has dazzled critics and Film Forum audiences for the past nine weeks, with some moviegoers returning five, six, or even 12 times to see how the film changes each day. Join us September 15 as Hustwit and his team unveil the next evolution of the film, Generation 4, which features new unreleased footage and software functions. Says Hustwit: “It’s exciting that we can continue to evolve the film over time, to incorporate more of Brian’s ideas and music. The film and the storytelling structure itself can continually grow, which is only possible with this generative film approach."
