Lars von Trier har förklarats som "persona non grata" på filmfestivalen i Cannes
by Synon on May.19, 2011,under Film
Gårdagens uttalande av Lars von Trier (då han under en presskonferens bl a sa att han var nazist) har fått efterspel i form att han bannats från årets filmfestival i Cannes. Följande meddelade de ansvariga för festivalen i morse:
"The Festival de Cannes provides artists from around the world with an exceptional forum to present their works and defend freedom of expression and creation. The Festival’s Board of Directors, which held an extraordinary meeting this Thursday 19 May 2011, profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the Festival.
The Board of Directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars Von Trier a persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately."
Kan tillägga att von Trier gått ut med en offentlig ursäkt för sitt uttalande.
