In Person

Joe Dante: In Person

  • 90 mins

From Innerspace to The Twilight Zone, Dante’s comedy is the most divine of all.

No one mutates Hollywood’s glo-bright dream gleam quite like Joe Dante. We’re talking killer fish, suburban paranoia and Santa-strangling beasties! Now, see the director of The Howling chitty-chat at EIFF! See! The arch-Gremlin infester of Spielberg’s toy house! See! The man who made Looney Toons crash ‘n’ dash through the Louvre! Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Dick Miller’s biggest fan – and the man who gave you MANT!

    I've been to quite a few of these In Person events over the years, but Joe was easily one of the best. Witty and entertaining despite a surprisingly flat interviewer in Kim Newman. Plus I got my copy of Gremlins signed by both Dante and Roger Corman. Good job this year team.
