Lena Góra is a Polish-American actress, screenwriter, and filmmaker, recognized for her bold performances and unique storytelling. She rose to prominence with her portrayal of her mother in Imago-a film she also wrote-which earned her the Best Polish Actress in a Leading Role award in 2023. Imago became a festival favorite, winning the Silver Lions, Best Music, and the prestigious FIPRESCI Critics Award for Best Film at the 2023 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Her performance in the film was highly praised, with Cineuropa calling it "one of the most memorable arthouse film characters in recent years."
Góra further demonstrated her versatility in Roving Woman, where she starred alongside Academy Award nominee John Hawkes and co-wrote the screenplay. The film, executive produced by Wim Wenders, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2022.
A native of Poland, Góra began her career on stage, performing in London and New York by the age of 16. She transitioned to television with a leading role in the critically acclaimed CANAL+ series The King of Warsaw (2019). Her film career continues to expand internationally with standout roles in Traveling Light, directed by Bernard Rose and co-starring Danny Huston, Netflix's dark comedy Night at the Kindergarten, and the crime-romance Saint.
In 2025, Góra will appear in two highly anticipated productions. She stars in Erupcja, directed by Pete Ohs and co-starring Charli XCX, produced by Jeremy O. Harris. Additionally, she will also be the face of Warner Bros./Max's international production, which launches Max International in Poland. This project, a modern-day version of Nikita, portrayed by Lena, focuses on real and current political issues in Eastern Europe and is directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Jan P. Matuszynski.
