Piotr Szulkin (Polish pronunciation: [ˈpjɔtr ˈʂulkʲin]; born 26 April 1950 in Gdańsk) is a Polish film director. He directed over 30 movies and received about 50 awards, Polish and international, including Best Science Fiction Film Director at Eurocon, 1984. He is also a professor at the National Film School in Łódź.

Personal life

He is the son of Paweł Szulkin (1911-1987), a Polish physicist from an assimilated Jewish family (his grandparents were Idel Szulkin and Małka Frydzon).[1] His paternal uncle was Michał Szulkin (1908-1992), a historian and publicist.

In 2013, Piotr Szulin demanded the removal of information about the Jewish ancestry of Paweł Szulkin in his biography in the Polski Słownik Biograficzny (Polish National Dictionary). After Piotr Szulkin sued Polski Słownik Biograficzny, in January 2014, the Civil Court in Kraków, as a protective action, put a one-year prohibition on the dissemination of the volume of Polski Słownik Biograficzny including the biography of Paweł Szulkin.[2]
