John Cook (filmmaker)
John Cook (1935 - 21 September 2001) was an Austrian filmmaker. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada [1], Cook lived and worked most of his life in Europe and often referred to himself as "Viennese by choice" [2], having moved to Austria in the late 1960s after a career in commercial photography in Paris[3]. Little-known in his native Canada, Cook is considered, despite his small filmography, an important figure in Austrian cinema[4][5].
Cook was the father of Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook.
