Persecution a point of issue as Polanski's Dreyfus Affair movie premieres at Venice - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Polanski has sought to compare his own situation with that of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish artillery officer in the French army who in 1894 was convicted of treason and shipped to the Devil’s Island penal colony off South America’s Atlantic coast.

The French-Polish director did not attend the Venice festival, where the French-language film is one of 21 in competition for the Golden Lion prize. It is being presented by cast members, including Polanski’s wife Emmanuelle Seigner, and producers. “This is not a moral tribunal,” he said. “The past is in the past, we need to focus on the present. The film must speak for itself, the jury must judge and the public, if they want, can applaud.”

“I approached this film with hindsight, modesty and knowing that history is the star of the film,” Dujardin said.
