Max Mauff

Actor

Max Mauff is a German actor who appeared in front of the camera as a child and has established himself in the 2000s with striking roles in films and series. He comes from Berlin and works continuously between arthouse productions, TV films, and international co-productions. His filmography combines quiet character studies with genre elements and coming-of-age stories. In HANNAS REISE (Hanna's Journey) from 2013, directed by Julia von Heinz, Max Mauff plays a supporting role alongside the main character as voluntary service in Israel becomes a test of prejudices and relationships. In 2005, he appeared in Maren-Kea Freese's WAS ICH VON IHR WEISS, a psychological drama that follows a young woman in search of her past, featuring a finely observed ensemble of characters. In ABSURDISTAN from 2008 by Veit Helmer, Mauff belongs to a poetically exaggerated universe that locates a secluded village community between anarchy, fantasy, and love story. In JONATHAN from 2016, directed by Piotr J. Lewandowski, he appears in a sensitive family drama revolving around a young farmer and his father's repressed past. Mauff plays Lasse, whose relationship with the title character enables emotional openness; the film was screened in the Panorama section of the Berlinale and brought the ensemble international visibility. In WIR SIND DIE FLUT (We Are the Flood) from 2016 by Sebastian Hilger, he takes on a leading role in a science fiction drama that links a mysterious natural phenomenon on the coast with the very personal story of two young researchers. In addition, Max Mauff has appeared in well-known productions such as the feature film Victoria and series such as Babylon Berlin and Kafka, further underscoring his range between experimental cinema and serial storytelling.
