Cannes Festival scraps screening of "The Anti-Semite"
AFP – 28 mins ago
The Cannes film festival has scrapped the screening of the film "The Anti-Semite", by controversial French comic Dieudonne, according to an official.
The film, also called "Yahod Setiz", in which Dieudonne takes the main role, was produced by the Iranian Documentary and Experimental Film Center (DEFC).
The Cannes Film Market, the festival's business counterpart, called for the film to be dropped from the programme when it heard about it at the beginning of the week.
"Our general conditions ban the presence of all films threatening public order or religious convictions, as well as pornographic films or those inciting violence," the film market's executive director Jerome Paillard told AFP.

It translates as 'Jewish contention'..
However it translates, from what I've read of the film, it's good that they're not screening it....
