On June 27, the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre will host a screening of the original, uncut, 1954 Toho Studios film Gojira, in Japanese with English subtitles. There will be a special presentation before the film, and a Q&A panel discussion afterwards. That'll be followed by original Japanese cuts of two more Godzilla films the next two nights, rarely if ever seen by American audiences -- and the differences are dramatic.
The mad genius behind Godzilla Weekend is Beth Bredlau, a graduate student in the Art History Department at IU, who specializes in "Godzilla Studies." We talk with her about the cultural significance of the famed movie beast in the 21st century, and the proclamation from Mayor Thomson declaring June 27 Godzilla Day in Bloomington.
