Joe’s Violin

CHRISTCHURCH: “Denial” Screening

2pm, Sunday, May 19. 

NORTHWOOD VILLA CLUBROOMS, O’NEILL AVE, NORTHWOOD, CHRISTCHURCH

“In 1996, the historian Deborah Lipstadt was pursued in the UK courts by the notorious Holocaust denier David Irving, for calling him a falsifier of history in her book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. This movie version of those events, written for the screen by David Hare and directed by Mick Jackson, stars Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt and Timothy Spall as Irving; it has been coolly received by some on the festival circuit, its drama dismissed as stagey and flat. I disagree. For me, it has clarity, urgency and overwhelming relevance. Because denial is fashionable again. Irving himself is gloating at the way “alt–right” fascists are threatening to make him and his poisonous flat-earthery acceptable once more. The US president himself believes in “alternative facts”. So for me this film, telling its story with punchy commitment and force, was a breath of fresh air.”  — Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

 

WELLINGTON: “Denial” Holocaust Film Night

A NZFOI Wellington Outing – Tuesday 9th May 2017 6.15pm @ Penthouse Cinema Brooklyn. 

(Meet from 5.45pm for drinks first if you can)

Come along and see the movie “Denial” with other NZFOI folk.  Tickets only $10.

Did you know that the Simon Weisenthal Centre’s work now is primarily geared to countering holocaust denial and pursuing holocaust deniers like David Irving. Consider what does it take legally to do this? What is the holocaust evidence?

Movie Synopsis:

A Jewish university professor in Jewish studies at an American university named Deborah E. Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) cites historian David Irving in a book about Holocaust deniers. Pretty straight forward you would think. An open and shut case over the death of 6 million Jews. Think Yad Vashem, Auschwitz… Irving then accuses her of libel and brings an action against her. Now the tables are turned and she is the one being accused. The key issue becomes a legal battle for historical truth. As the burden of proof is placed on the accused, Lipstadt and her legal team must fight to prove the truth of the holocaust. How would you answer this question????
