Sometime in the 1960s, in sunny Sacramento, two Filipina-American sisters got together with other teenage girls to play music. Little did they know their garage band would evolve into the legendary rock group Fanny, the first all-women band to issue an LP with a major record label (Warner/Reprise, 1970). Despite releasing five critically-acclaimed albums over five years, touring with famed bands from Slade to Chicago, and amassing a dedicated fan base of music legends, including David Bowie, Fanny’s groundbreaking impact in music was written out of history… until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new rock record deal. With incredible archival footage of the band’s rocking past intercut with its next chapter releasing a new LP today, the film includes interviews with a large cadre of music icons, including Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, The Go-Go’s Kathy Valentine, Todd Rundgren, The Runaways’ Cherie Currie, Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian, The B52’s Kate Pierson, Charles Neville, and David Bowie guitarist and bassist Earl Slick and Gail Ann Dorsey. Fighting early barriers of race, gender and sexuality in the music industry, and now ageism, the incredible women of Fanny are ready to claim their hallowed place in the halls of rock ‘n’ roll fame.

A pair of fans of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden launch a crowdfunding campaign to help Paul Di’Anno (aka The Beast), the band’s iconic original singer, get back on his feet literally, emotionally and professionally. Neglected by healthcare workers in the U.K., wheelchair-bound Di’Anno leaves his home in the middle of the pandemic and travels to Croatia, where he rides an emotional rollercoaster, running out of money, reuniting with his former Maiden bandmates and falling in love — all while his health makes a dramatic turn-around thanks to the goodwill of fans, doctors and nurses.

Visionary musician and artist Brian Eno — known for producing artists such as David Bowie, U2, and Talking Heads, pioneering the genre of ambient music, and releasing more than 40 solo and collaborative albums — reveals his creative processes in Eno, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gary Hustwit (Helvetica, Rams).

In the first career-spanning documentary about the legendary and prolific artist — and the world’s first generative feature film — Hustwit sets out to decode Eno’s creative strategies and examine his lifelong search for the meaning of music. Defying the traditional hagiographic impulses of the music documentary genre, the film draws from original interviews and Eno’s staggering archive of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music, alongside Hustwit’s own interviews.
Utilizing proprietary software developed by Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes, the film offers millions of possible variations and introduces a groundbreaking approach to storytelling. The result is a viewing experience that resonates with Eno’s own artistic practice, his use of technology to compose music, and the mercurial essence of creativity as an endless pursuit.
