A French producer raised his voice against the acceptance of Catherine Corsini's film Homecoming, which was riven by on-set misconduct accusations, at the Cannes Film Festival.
Now, he has claimed his accreditation was revoked in response.
Marc Missonnier, who has produced hits including8 Femmes and Swimming Pool and Marguerite, tweeted, "I've just arrived on Croisette like every year for more than 30 years. Even if this year will be different because, as I announced, I will not be going to see any of the films in Official Selection."
The 52-year-old continued, "And there, I learn that it (accreditation)had been cancelled a few days earlier without anyone telling me because, and I quote, 'I called for a boycott in a virulent personal campaign.' I have therefore been PUNISHED and sent to the corner like a naughty schoolboy. The only thing I can do is laugh."
Meanwhile, the film in question, Corsini's Homecoming, was accused of minor safeguard failure and crew mistreatment.
