Few directing duos have cracked intelligent and successful filmmaking the way Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache have. Intouchables and Le Sens de la Fête turned into genuine box-office phenomena, at home and abroad. Premiering their new film Juste une Illusion at this year’s FilmFest Hamburg, the Writers-directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache sit down for a fireside chat on the craft of telling stories that connect with millions. From finding the universal theme beneath the humor and emotion to creating characters who feel profoundly real, they’ll explore how scenes earn their laughs, their tears, and everything in between. A rare and insightful conversation with two of French cinema’s most accomplished storytellers.

• Éric Toledano, Screenwriter and director
