Lokis. A Manuscript of Professor Wittembach (Polish: Lokis. Rękopis profesora Wittembacha) was a 1970 Polish film directed by Janusz Majewski based on the 1869 Prosper Mérimée horror novel of the same name. The title is a misspelling of the Lithuanian word lokys for "bear".[1]

In 1971, the film earned for Majewski the "Best feature film director ex-aequo" award at the 14th International Festival of Science Fiction and Horror Films, Sitges, Spain,[2][3] as well as Polish film awards.
