John Hough
This versatile filmmaker has seen it all. From horror films – The Legend of Hell House ( 1973 ) and Incubus ( 1982 ) – to Disney fantasy tales – Escape To Witch Moutain ( 1975 ) and Return from Witch Moutain ( 1978 ) – and even westerns – A Man Called Horse ( 1983 ). His reputation is so big that Quentin Tarantino thanked him on the credits of Death Proof. We enjoyed his presence at our 23rd edition, when he supervised our “Fantasy Brussels” workshop ( 2005 ). He comes back this year as executive producer to his son Paul’s long feature debut The Human Race.
