Before I ever saw any of Mike Jittlov's films I was intregued by an article about him in a very shabby old issue of Fantastic Films magazine I was given as collage material. I've scanned the relevent pages for the benefit of all Jittlov fans, hope you enjoy.

At least one more interview here soon hopefully... watch this space...
