[PAST EVENT] 'Gojira,' Not 'Godzilla'
April 14, 2012
7pm - 9:30pm
On Saturday evening, we will screen the classic Japanese film Gojira (dir. Honda Ishiro, 1954), better known to Americans in the very different version released here as Godzilla. The screening will include introductory remarks placing the film within the context of Japan's nuclear history. The screening will be followed on Sunday by a student conference on the catastrophic earthquake, tsunami that struck northeastern Japan on March 11th of last year, and on-going nuclear crisis. A collection will be taken at the screening to benefit relief efforts.
