Persona Non Grata shirt

In 2011, Danish "bad boy" director of 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Dancer in the Dark', Lars Von Trier, was at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere his new film 'Melancholia'. At the film's press conference, when asked about his family heritage, Von Trier gave a characteristically off-color response to the horror of his film's stars, the press, festival organizers, and the film world in general.

Cannes' board of directors held "an extraordinary meeting" at which Von Trier was declared "a persona non grata... with effect immediately". The director's comments, they said, were "unacceptable, intolerable and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the festival".

Von Trier was back at Cannes seven years later with 'The House That Jack Built', but not before sporting a t-shirt emblazoned with the Cannes logo and "PERSONA NON GRATA" at the Berlin Film Festival's premiere of 'Nymphomaniac' in 2014.
