G-FEST Official Website
Special Thanks to Avery Guerra and Payton Lees
Greetings, Kaiju United community! As most of us know, G-FEST XXVIII is right around the bend, coming up this weekend. G-FEST 2023 will be full of kaiju fans coming together to share their love for giant monster movies, amazing finds in the vendor room, fantastic independent Tokusatsu work at Dojo Studios, and a booming schedule of classic and independent kaiju cinema playing all day every day!
You can find the list of films playing in the downloadable program book for G-FEST, but Kaiju United exclusively has the titles of the short films playing during A Giant Collection of Shorts on Sunday for those deep divers in the community!
The G-FEST Film Festival will take place in International Ballroom A, B, and C, located within the host venue, Hyatt Regency Chicago O’Hare.
