Harry Gulkin

Harry Gulkin (born November 14, 1927) is a Canadian film and theatre producer, arts director, and project manager from Montreal, Quebec. He is perhaps best known for producing Lies My Father Told Me.
Shortly before World War II ended, Gulkin left Baron Byng High School and entered the merchant marines. When his service ended, he returned to Montréal and began social advocacy work. Gulkin then joined the Canadian Tribune, a communist weekly. There, he worked as an art critic and business manager.
In 1970, he decided that he wanted to make films. His first major success was the 1975 drama Lies My Father Told Me. Adapted from the story by Ted Allan, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay, and won a Golden Globe for best foreign film.
From 1983 to 1987, Gulkin was director of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts. In 1987, he began a 20-year tenure as a project manager with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles.
