Canadian-born filmmaker and photographer John Cook (1935-2001) was one the key figures in the "Austrian New Wave" of the 1970s. A maverick, Cook almost single-handedly introduced a type of freewheeling auteur cinema reminiscent of both Italian neorealism and the works of the French nouvelle vague. This volume offers a German-language section of essays, interviews, and an annotated filmography, and a brief autobiography by Cook in English.

Director Alexander Horwath has done a monumental job in bringing a great deal of material together, creating not only a history of the Filmmuseum but a real contribution to international film culture...The texts in all of the books are in German, but there are so many posters, photos, sketches, diagrams, and storyboards (one by Vertov) that you learn merely by browsing. These volumes are a must for research libraries with a focus on film.
The Austrian Film Museum is devoted to realizing what Walter Benjamin called cinema's "journeys of adventure". Film demonstrates its importance today in many ways: as art, as document, as a popular medium, and as a catalyst for new processes within our culture and society available to our public. The Film Museum is devoted to the presentation and communication of film within the context of today's culture.
