Frida Cinema Showa Godzilla Festival Announced for June!

Head for the hills, because Showa Godzilla Weekend is stomping into Santa Ana, California, June 16-20!
Co-presented by our friends at Creature Bazaar, @atomicartandmusic, and Mission Control!

We all know and love the big radioactive lizard, but not everybody’s had the chance to see the movies that made him a star around the world on the big screen. To that end, The Frida is screening all 15 films from the original Showa era of Godzilla over the course of one weekend. Featuring everything from the grim black and white 1954 original to the colorfully wacky entries of the 70s, it’s a series only fit for a king – a King of the Monsters, that is!

Tickets are standard (and matinee when applicable) prices, but we are adding the opportunity to buy day and full festival passes:

Friday Festival Passes are $30 for all 4 films!
Saturday Festival Passes are $25 for all 3 films!
Sunday Festival Passes are $30 for all 4 films!

A Full Festival Pass is $99 for 15 films across 5 days!
