The event organised by Cinematheque Francaise, a Paris- based major film archive, was attended by Polanski himself.
The two women activists entered the theatre topless with slogans painted on them reading "VIP Very Important Pedocriminal".
They also chanted "No honor for the rapists" at 84-year- old director, who presented his latest film "Based on a True Story", reported The Guardian.
The duo was swiftly removed from the audience by the security.
Outside the theatre, French feminist organisation Osez le feminisme protested against Polanski with activists chanting, "Enough of those who want to protect the aggressors".
Polanski has been living in Europe since fleeing the United States in the 1970s to avoid prosecution in the Samantha Geimer rape case.
In January, he was asked to step down as host of the Cesar awards, after 61,000 people signed a petition.
