The European Producers Club (EPC) has issued a statement expressing solidarity for French producer Marc Missonnier who has had his Cannes accreditation revoked for criticizing the festival on social media.

The body, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is an association of 160 influential film and TV producers from across Europe, including Missionnier. “The European Producers Club was informed that one of our esteemed members, the renowned French producer Marc Missonnier, had his accreditation revoked by the Cannes Film Festival due to his expressed opinions about the official selection on social media,” read the statement. “The European Producers Club strongly disagrees with this action, as it can be seen as a restriction on freedom of expression.

Critics and criticism play a vital role in the film industry, and individuals’ dedication and civic opinions should not hinder their professional access to the Cannes Film Festival and its market.” In the lead-up to Cannes, Missonnier announced on social networks that he was boycotting the festival following its selection of Catherine Corsini’s Homecoming to Competition after accusations of misconduct on set.
