GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH (1971) — with Homemade Godzilla Shorts
November 3, 2023 : 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
“Trippy, nightmarish, and altogether groovy…There’s literally no other Godzilla movie quite like this.” -Variety
Celebrate World Godzilla Day with us! The first GODZILLA film was released in Japan on November 3, 1954. Nearly 70 years later there are more than 30 films that include the terrorizing lizard. Join us for a screening of GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH, with a special pre-show of DIY Godzilla short movies. Submit yours to be shown before the film, and you could win a glorious prize!
Intended to address the crisis levels of pollution in postwar Japan, GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH finds the King of the Monsters fighting an alien life form that arrives on Earth and steadily grows by feeding on industrial waste. Director Yoshimitsu Banno infuses the film with equal parts ecological horror, humorous monster antics, and sixties psychedelia straight out of San Francisco, making for a truly unique—and divisive—entry in the series.
