Edward Sturlis (1927–1980) was an actor-puppeteer, screenwriter, and director of animations. Born in Moscow, he played in five Soviet films for children as a teenager. From 1945, he worked at Soyuzdetfilm as a scenographer’s assistant. In 1946, he came to Poland and began his career as an assistant at the Studio Filmów Kukiełkowych [Puppet Animation Studio] in Łódź (later known as Se-Ma-For studio). From 1955, he directed puppet animation as an independent creator.
His best-known works were episodes in the French-Polish animated series Przygody Misia Colargola [The Adventures of Colargol, the Bear]. He participated in creating many animated films for children. He was awarded collective and individual prizes in Poland and abroad: the Mention Spéciale at the Cannes Film Festival for Children and Youth in 1960 for Bellerofon [Bellerophon] and the Grand Prix of International Children and Young Adults Film Festival in Paris for Przygody Misia Colargola in 1972. He also produced animations concerning Greek mythology, such as Damon [Damon] (1958), Bellerofon [Bellerophon] (1959), Orfeusz i Eurydyka [Orpheus and Eurydice] (1961), and Danae [Danae] (1969).
