[1] His feature debut titled Rewers (Reverse) won first prize, the Golden Lion, at the Polish Film Festival in 2009 in Gdynia.

His thriller “A Grain of Truth”, where the phantoms of medieval antisemitism seem to reappear in a contemporary small Polish town, was a box office hit of 2015.

According to NPR Books A Grain of Truth, like every great crime novel, digs up more unsettling questions than it does answer; it also demonstrates the seemingly endless possibilities of the form itself to serve as smart social criticism.

Lankosz is now in pre-production of his next project, adaptation of another bestselling novel Dark, Almost Night by Joanna Bator a winner of Poland's leading literary award NIKE.

In the company of the central character, Alicja Tabor, who is a newspaper reporter, we will learn the painful history of her family and those closely connected with it, which goes back to World War II.

she discovers the truth about herself and her own tragic childhood, over which a shadow was cast by her mother's madness and the death of her sister, who was obsessed with the legend of Książ Castle and its beautiful resident, Princess Daisy, who was under a curse.

Referring to the Gothic the book offers serious thoughts about a world that is permeated by evil (which here becomes personified in the mysterious "cat-eaters"), suffering in the historical past, madness and the tragedy of those who are too sensitive to bear the weight of it all.

And somewhere beyond these reflections of a general nature, the story of the heroine's loneliness is being told too, a woman who is incapable of entering into a deep, satisfying relationship with another person.

Starry cast "Memoir of Ms. Hannah" follows a young and attractive woman (Joanna Kulig) who by careless romance gets involved in a spy affair.

He directed a French play Le Repas des faves[6] by Vahe Katcha in one of the most popular theaters in Warsaw, Polonia Theatre.

The decision of the latter award was articulated by the jury as follows: "Borys Lankosz’s Rewers succeeds its substantial ambition to tell the story of love, family, and loyalty in a brutal post war Warsaw.

Uniquely, first time director Lankosz manages to deliver a highly stylized vision without sacrificing character, story, or performance.
