A monster movie with meaning.
Join us at the Museum of East Asian Art for a rare screening of Godzilla (1954), the iconic Japanese film that launched the kaiju genre. More than just a creature feature, Ishirō Honda’s original Godzilla is a haunting allegory of post-war trauma, nuclear anxiety, and humanity’s fragile relationship with nature and technology.
Japanese cinema expert Steven Sloss will introduce the film, exploring its rich historical and cultural context, from its roots in post-Hiroshima Japan to its ongoing relevance in global cinema.
Presented in partnership with the Bath Archaeo-Heritage Film Festival, this screening is a unique opportunity to see Godzilla in the atmospheric setting of the Museum of East Asian Art—where film, history and place collide.
