Olivier Dahan (born June 26, 1967) is a French film director and screenwriter. His third directed film, La Vie en rose, was one of the only French cinema films ever to win two Academy Awards, including the first acting Oscar in the French language.
Before taking up film directing, he exhibited his paintings in a number of one-man and group shows, made numerous music videos (for, amongst others, Zucchero, Stéphane Eicher, Princesse Erika) and worked for several record companies (Virgin, EMI, Sony, Polygram).
