2:15 Gary Hustwit: Digging into Brian Eno’s brain

Gary Hustwit, director of the new Eno documentary, tells Charlotte how he managed to fit over 500 hours of Brian Eno's personal video footage into a film that explores his relentless creativity. 

Brian Eno has been at the forefront of artistic innovation for over five decades. The hugely influential British musician, producer, activist and visual artist began his career as an original member of the legendary Roxy Music in the early 1970s. He left the band to release a series of solo records and later pioneered the genre of ambient music.

As a producer, Eno helped define and reinvent the sound of some of the most important artists in music, including David Bowie, U2, Talking Heads, Coldplay, and dozens of others.

In the spirit of Eno’s avant-garde and unconventional approach to music, Hustwit has created something very one of a kind. 

Eno is screening at the NZIFF film festival. Check your local NZIFF programme for dates here.

2.35 Neo Sora: Capturing Ryuichi Sakamoto’s swansong  

An intimate filmed performance of Japanese composer and electronic music pioneer Ryuichi Sakamoto is set to screen as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival. 

Ryuichi, who died in March 2023, left his audience a parting gift, his swansong, captured on camera by his son, Director Neo Sora. 

Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote award winning scores for the films The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky and The Revenant and found worldwide recognition with Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, a film he also co-starred in with David Bowie. 

Sakamoto was not only a famous composer, but a celebrated pianist, political activist, and at one point, a famous pop star with his electronic-pop band The Yellow Magic Orchestra.

Neo Sora joins Charlotte Ryan to share his memories of his father.

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus is screening at all of the NZIFF film festivals around the country. Check your local NZIFF programme for dates here.

Our guest picking the music is designer Kristine Crabb, the fashion artist who dresses NZ’ s most boundary pushing musicians…names like Lorde, Aldous Harding, Erny Belle, and Taite Prize winner Vera Ellen. 

Kristine started her 20 year career in fashion with the boutique shop Rip Shit and Bust in 2001 and then went on to create Miss Crabb, a label which earned her a cult following that she has carried over to her new project Gloria - named after the rebellious spirit of her grandmother.
