June 24 - July 3

The American Cinematheque and Giant Robot Present

GIANT JAPANESE MONSTERS FESTIVAL

For those of you who didn't get enough city-stomping, radioactive -fire-breathing action at last year's 50th Birthday Tribute to Godzilla, we're back with more classics and rarities of the Japanese kaiju ("giant monster") genre - including the Los Angeles Theatrical Premieres of the latest Ultraman adventure, the spectacular ULTRAMAN THE NEXT, and the newest installment in the Godzilla series, the highly acclaimed GODZILLA FINAL WARS - !! Other highlights include a special program of material from the secret vaults of Tsuburaya Productions in Japan, including episodes of the never-before-seen- in-America TV series "MIRROR MAN" and "FIREMAN" from the early 1970's; the rarely-screened Rankin/Bass collaboration with Toho, KING KONG ESCAPES (1968) featuring two giant Kongs (!); and arguably the most sought-after of all Japanese monster movies, the long-lost MATANGO (ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE), and much more!! Plus vendors including Anime Jungle & Hollywood Book & Poster, prizes and more!
