John Hoffman (filmmaker)

John Hoffman (29 August 1904, Hungary6 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.
