Biography
Georg Koszulinski is an award-winning writer/director who has been producing films since 1999. His work spans a wide range of forms and styles, from feature-length narratives and social justice documentaries to short experimental films. His film work has enabled him to collaborate with a broad range of communities, including oceanographers and mariners studying climate change, Haida and Kwakwaka’wakw communities of the Pacific Northwest, migrant farmworkers in Florida, and Vodou practitioners in rural Haiti. Georg’s forthcoming feature documentary A Map of the World in Time, filmed 34 days at sea in the Arctic Circle, was funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the European Geosciences Union, the latter awarding him the 2023 EGU Journalism Award.
Georg recently wrote and directed the award-winning feature film, Red Earth (2023). The film had its world premiere at the Atlanta Film Festival where it won a juried cinematography prize. Red Earth screened at film festivals internationally, completing its festival run at the New York Sci Fi Film Festival where it won Best Feature Film. Red Earth, along with many of Georg’s other films, are available on a variety of streaming platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Tubi, and academic libraries worldwide via Alexander Street/Pro Quest.
Georg’s speculative fiction novel Future X (2025) was the recipient of the Keepers of the Fire Prize in Fiction, available through Raven Chronicles Press. Future X, a last-woman-on-Earth narrative, explores ecological disaster, artificial intelligence, and other multispecies-level existential threats facing the world today.
Chronotope Earth 1985 to Future, Georg’s most recent experimental documentary, represents the final entry in his award-winning The Anthropocene Cycle (2018-2025). Chronotope was filmed in Greenland and remote desert regions of the American southwest. The film explores the climate crisis as it invokes a speech given by Carl Sagan to the United States Congress in 1985. The film had its world premiere at the Bogotá Experimental Film Festival and has gone on to screen at VASTLAB, Experiments in Cinema, Festival Internacional de Imagem de Natureza, Single Frame, and ICDOCS.
