Rene Maurin (*1971) is a Slovene-German author born in ex-Yugoslavia, rightfully accused of roaming several mediums. He acquired formal education in the United States, Croatia, and Slovenia. After graduation in theatre directing he filmed a series of documentaries for the Slovenian National Television and won the attention of audiences and critics with films such as "I saw Elvis!" (1999) and "Life, as from inside" (2000).

He dedicates the next decade to the theatre and takes over the management of Ptuj City Theatre in Slovenia. He directs several performances that reap acclaim and selected awards in Slovenia and abroad. In 2012 he directed his first fiction film “Bright Black” (2014). Among others, the film received the award for the best academic achievement of University in Ljubljana and toured several prestigious international film festivals.

His photographic work serves as an expression contrasting the narrative treatment of cinematic storytelling and nests in photographic contraction of time and the capacity of uncompromised manifestation of intimate testimonies and visual langue.

As of 2012, he lectures at the Institute of Media Communication at the University of Maribor. He lives and works chiefly but not exclusively in Slovenia.
