premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury prize. The period drama, about the Jewish Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was wrongfully convicted of treason in 19th century France, is the frontrunner at the EFAs, with nominations in the main categories —best film, best director and best screenwriter — for Polanski. It also scored a cinematography nod and a best actor nomination for Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin.
The group addressed the request to European Film Academy director Marion Doring and jury members Nadia Ben Rachid, Vanja Cernjul, Annette Focks, Eimer Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh, Gerda Koekoek, Artur Pinheiro, Gisle Tveito and Istvan Vadja. “The #MeToo and Time's Up movements have upended the status quo on sexual violence. It is well past time that Europe stop allowing sexual offenders like Polanski to act with impunity. Putting rapists on notice will send a clear message to victims of sexual violence and child sexual abuse: 'We believe you, we will break the silence, and we will bring about structural change,'” they wrote.
Oh, really Ms Arquette 🙄
Finally someone is speaking sense within the film industry.
It’s amazing to me how many people defend him when he was actually convicted of being a pedophile. He isn’t accused he was found guilty and people still support him. Unbelievable
She is right. Not only is Polanski a pedophile, but also like a coward fled to Switserland to escape his conviction. So, yeah: go RoArquette for daring to speak up!
No ban. Not me too..
