The board of directors of France's Film Academy has announced their collective resignation, responding to weeks of criticism centered on Roman Polanski.
"To honor those who made films in 2019, to regain serenity and make the cinema festival a celebration, the board of birectors of the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma made a unanimous decision to resign," the statement reads. "This collective resignation will allow the complete renewal of the association’s management."
"12 César nominations for Roman Polanski’s ‘J’accuse’. 12, like the number of women who accuse him of pedo-criminal rape," feminist groups wrote in an open letter to the French press on Monday, referring to the many other women who have come forward to accuse the director of sexual assault.
