József Szilas (born 1910) was a Hungarian film editor. ^[1][2] He was active as an editor during the 1930s, working on films from a range of genres but particularly comedies. However, of Jewish heritage, the new anti-Jewish Laws prevented him from working in the cinema. His date of death is unknown, but he likely died while working as a forced labourer during the Holocaust.
