John Hoffman (filmmaker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Hoffman (29 August 1904, Hungary - 6 January 1980, Altadena, California), was a masterful editor of montage sequences for several Hollywood studio features.

Hoffman also made two striking visual tone poems with his colleague, the Serbian montagist Slavko Vorkapich, Moods of the Sea (aka Fingal's Cave, 1941) and Forest Murmurs (1947). The former film is set to Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture and was restored in 2004 by film preservation expert David Shepard.
