\"Dieudonne<\/a>A year after Lars von Trier was publicly castigated for making a Hitler joke at Cannes<\/a>, the festival has banned a controversial comedy by French comedian\/provocateur Dieudonn\u00c3\u00a9. Entitled The Anti-Semite<\/em>, the film was scheduled to play not in the official festival but in the Cannes Film Market, but outrage over its content \u00e2\u20ac\u201d including mockery of Auschwitz and Dieudonn\u00c3\u00a9 in Nazi dress \u00e2\u20ac\u201d led the organization to scrap screenings.

According to Agence France-Presse, the film includes “images deriding Auschwitz,” “Dieudonne’s violent and alcoholic character dressed as a Nazi officer for a fancy dress party,” and “Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson [appearing] as himself.”<\/p>\n

Produced by the Iranian Documentary and Experimental Film Center, The Anti-Semite<\/em> stars Dieudonn\u00c3\u00a9, who has been charged numerous times for violating European laws with his controversial statements and performances, including one recent show in France that was halted<\/a> mid-performance by authorities “for breaking local defamation laws.”<\/p>\n

As for the Cannes<\/a> screening, the Cannes Film Market’s Jerome Paillard explained the move thusly: “Our general conditions ban the presence of all films threatening public order or religious convictions, as well as pornographic films or those inciting violence.”<\/p>\n
