Łukasz Kośmicki (born September 9, 1968) is a Polish cinematographer, screenwriter and director, known for Dom zły (The Dark House) and The Coldest Game.

Kośmicki received the Special Award at the 2019 Gdynia Film Festival for the spy film The Coldest Game, described as "exquisitely made genre cinema".[2] The film was picked up by Netflix and is distributed internationally.

Career

Kośmicki's debut as a cinematographer was with Gry uliczne. He mentions how he tried to make that film "MTV-like" to distinguish it from typical films about the Communist era (he said the idea came from Krzysztof Krauze). However, in the case of Poznań '56, he made the visuals black and white and very "classic", in the spirit of the European cinema of the 1960s.[3]

His directorial debut came with The Coldest Game (2019).[4]
