Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier was booted out of the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday for saying that he sympathizes with Adolf Hitler.Festival President Gilles Jacob said von Trier had been banned from the rest of this year’s festival, although he would not elaborate if the filmmaker might be allowed back in future years. It was an unprecedented move by the festival that in 2000 bestowed its highest honor on one of von Trier’s earlier films, “Dancer in the Dark.”The filmmaker’s comments had “stained the reputation for the festival” and its 28-member board of directors felt it had to respond, Jacob said.Von Trier’s current film “Melancholia” remains in competition for all Cannes prizes
