France's César Academy board quits en masse amid Polanski row

"This collective decision will allow complete renewal of the board," it added.

Culture Minister Franck Riester said the César Academy must operate democratically, in the spirit of"openness, transparency, parity and diversity".Many called for a boycott when Polanski's film An Officer and a Spy, or J'accuse in French, received 12 award nominations. The Polish-French director fled the US after his rape conviction in the 1970s, and has since faced other accusations of sexual assault.

In an open letter this week, hundreds of film professionals, including actors and directors, called for"profound reform" at the academy.
