Unfortunately, Janus does not yet have DCPs (Digital Cinema Packages used for theatrical screenings) for these two movies, so they had to be pulled from the Godzillafest schedule.  BAFE apologizes for any issues this may cause for attendees. On a postive note, two great films - MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA and GHIDORAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER - have been added as replacements.  Godzillafest will now be screening 15 different Godzilla movies... exactly half of the live action Godzilla series produced to date by Toho! The updated screening schedule and ticket links are listed below... Bay Area Film Events

Through a twist of fate, they realize that this action created a loop, and Megaguirus is actually responsible for weakening Mothra enough to perish at the hands of Antra. Their new Mothra isn't even close to ready for her rematch against Megaguirus, so Emi and Mira hatch their most daring plan yet: train Mothra with a rematch against her killer — Antra. Will Mothra survive this deadly kaiju clash? And if she does, will it be enough to save the world?
