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!
