This movie changes every time you watch it | Gary Hustwit

This TED Talks Daily episode features Elise Hu introducing filmmaker Gary Hustwit, who discusses his documentary "Eno" about musician Brian Eno. Hustwit challenges the traditional fixed nature of film by creating a generative documentary that changes every time it's shown, offering billions of possible variations. He explains the technical constraints of traditional filmmaking and how digital technology allows for dynamic storytelling. The film incorporates archival footage, interviews, and "oblique strategies cards" that influence the narrative, ensuring each viewing experience is unique. Hustwit also shares future applications of this technology, including streaming generative films and remixing existing movies.
