P.O.V. Film Series Screens A Godzilla Double Feature at Tapp's Arts Center

The Age of Godzilla is upon us!


Join us April 25th for The Point of View Film Series’ Kaiju Double Feature of "King Kong vs. Godzilla" (1962) and "Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" (2001).

Godzilla will stomp his way to sixty this year and P.O.V. aims to celebrate accordingly; be prepared for an all-out kaiju attack and bring your best Godzilla roar to honor the icon as it deserves.

Godzilla is the definitive cinematic icon, starring in twenty nine films over the span of sixty years and slated to star in the highly anticipated 2014 summer blockbuster.  With this in mind, POV has chosen two examples of Godzilla’s timelessness in 1962’s 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' and 2001’s 'Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack', known affectionately to fans as 'GMK'.  The first film places the titan of Japanese genre film with America’s own giant monster King Kong in an East-meets-West classic grudge match.  The film is so well-loved and iconic that it still stands as the highest-grossing film in the franchise.  'GMK', a contemporary work, shows Godzilla once again in all his brutal supremacy as he faces off against two of his biggest rivals of years past. Together these movies show slices of the epic and varied history of the Godzilla series.

The Point of View Film Series meets monthly in the Skyline Room of Tapp’s Arts Center to view and discuss films of varying styles and genres from around the world.

Our couch seating is limited; please feel free to bring your own pillows, cushions, or chairs.
ADMISSION: $5 (includes both films)
