Adapted by David Hare from Deborah E. Lipstadt&#8217;s book <em>History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier<\/em>, the powerful film features a startling turn by Timothy Spall as David Irving, the discredited historian who sued Lipstadt for libel over his beliefs about the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>Jo and Axel will discuss issues brought up in the film, the history from which this film is based and its political connotations that are relevant today.<\/p>\n<p>The film starts at 6.15pm and the discussion will take place in the foyer afterwards at 8.30pm. The Curzon cinema advises booking for the film in advance.<\/p>\n<p>For more details of the Curzon Canterbury, please see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curzoncinemas.com\/canterbury\/info\">www.curzoncinemas.com\/canterbury\/info<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Jo Pettitt and Dr Axel St\u00e4hler from the Department of Comparative Literature will host a post-film discussion of Denial (2016) at the Curzon Canterbury &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2017\/02\/06\/jo-pettitt-and-axel-stahler-on-denial-2016\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2458,"featured_media":6981,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18583,124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6980"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2458"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6980"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6998,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6980\/revisions\/6998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
