Saturday 18th July - 7pm till 10pm
Tickets - Pay What You Can - £12, £10, £8
Join us for a very special screening of Godzilla with an introduction by Kaiju scholar, Steven Sloss. This screening has been programmed in collaboration with Jon Bishop to mark his solo exhibition Teenage Flicks.
Ishiro Honda’s Godzilla (also known as Gojira) is the foundational “kaiju” (Japanese giant monster) film. It’s also a remarkably humane melodrama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attacks and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. A thrilling, palpable spectacle that has spawned over thirty sequels (and counting), Godzilla remains essential and frighteningly relevant viewing.
Steven Sloss is a lifelong fan and scholar of kaiju cinema who has written and presented on the subject for the BFI, BBC, Barbican Centre, Arrow Films, Glasgow Film Festival, and more. He is currently writing a book on the original Godzilla (1954) for Bloomsbury Publishing and the BFI. Follow him on Instagram at @steven_sloss.
There will be a bar during this event.Saturday 18th July - 7pm till 10pm
