René Vautier (French: [ʁəne votje]; 15 January 1928 – 4 January 2015) was a French film director.

Many were banned or condemned, and one caused him to go to prison for a year. ()

René Vautier, born January 15, 1928 in Camaret-sur-Mer (Finistère) and died January 4, 2015, in Cancale (Ille-et-Vilaine), was a French director and screenwriter, communist and anti-colonialist, particularly known for his film "To be twenty years old in the Aurès".
