Robin de Jager is a South African writer and director celebrated for his bold, thought-provoking narratives that explore urban subculture, queer identity, spirituality, and cultural heritage within South Africa's unique socio-political landscape. He discovered his love for these themes while studying Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he deepened his artistic expression in identity politics.

After a successful career as an advertising creative and commercial director across South Africa, Nigeria, and the UK, Robin returned to academia, pursuing a Master’s in film and engaging with South Africa's de-colonial New Film movement. His creative journey includes collaborations with icons like Neill Blomkamp, Moonchild Sanelly, Pearl Thusi, and Sho Madjozi, with his debut film Bakhona earning international accolades, including the Rode Reel award.

His ongoing project, Safe as Houses, a queer pan-African documentary series, showcases his commitment to authentic and provocative storytelling.

Today, Robin is recognised as one of the continent's most sought-after writers and directors, pushing for a fresh, proud African voice in film.
