Its organizers describe the event as a tribute to the writer and a feast of literature.
The festival’s opening debate on Wednesday, which came on the eve of the announcement of the winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize for literature, focused on the potential candidates for the honour.
The Nobel literature prize for 2018 went to Poland’s Olga Tokarczuk.
Other festival panels are devoted to various aspects of Polish-Jewish-Ukrainian-German relations and their reflection in literature and the arts.
Born in 1892, Bruno Schulz was shot by a Gestapo officer in 1942 in his home town of Drohobych, now in Ukraine.
His major works include The Hour-Glass Sanatorium, The Street of Crocodiles, and Cinnamon Shops.
The Hour-Glass Sanatorium was made into a successful film by Polish director Wojciech Has in the 1970s.
The recently established Olga Tokarczuk Foundation, which is based in Wrocław, is among the organizers of the Bruno Schulz Festival, which runs until October 18.
All events are available on-line. At festival venues, strict social distancing rules are in place.
