FEATURED FILMS WASHINGTON AREA THEATRICAL PREMIERE ENGAGEMENT! MC5 * A TRUE TESTIMONIAL Opens Friday, April 23, with daily shows through Thursday, May 6, including weekend matinees Kick out the jams! This captivating rockumentary features one of the most electrifying acts ever to storm a rock‘n’roll stage. And if the band’s name doesn’t ring a bell, take it from critic Dave Marsh: he once wrote that if the Rolling Stones in their prime were playing across the street, he’d choose to see MC5 (the Motor City 5), the late-60s rockers who set a high- energy sonic standard that has rarely been matched. Driven by radical poli- tics, MC5’s iconoclastic, punk-precursor stage show featured groundbreaking musical licks and lyrics belted out by wild-haired lead singer Rob Tyner—all delivered in an outrageous, no-holds-barred stage show, featuring outlandish costumes and White Panther Banners side-by-side with American flags. Building buzz since its 2002 Film Festival debut, David C. Thomas’s documentary includes interviews with the surviving band members and recently rediscovered performance footage (including an FBI surveil- lance concert tape). Though MC5’s uncompromising activism may ultimately have kept them from the mainstream success enjoyed by protégées like Iggy Pop, their influence continues to resurface in rock’s evolution, from glam-rock, heavy metal, punk and grunge to a new wave of acts like Rage Against the Machine, White Stripes and The Strokes. Directed by David C. Thomas; produced by Laurel Legler. US, 2002, color, 120 min. Not Rated. Contains Very Strong Language. No passes accepted.

WITH 40 WASHINGTON AREA THEATRICAL PREMIERE! MINUTES OF NEVER- BEFORE-SEEN 50th FOOTAGE! Anniversary!

The Complete Uncut, Undubbed Japanese Version Never Before Released In the US! New 35mm Print! NEW TRANSLATION AND SUBTITLES! GODZILLA Kennedy Center: Opens Friday, May 14, with daily shows through Thursday, May 20, including weekend matinees AFI Silver: Opens Friday, May 21, with daily shows through Thursday, June 3, including weekend matinees A Japanese steamer sinks in flames in an erupting sea. Then, on an island, scientists find—a giant radioactive footprint! Could it be... ? In 1954, GOJIRA (the original title) was the most expensive film in Japanese history—nearly twice the budget of SEVEN SAMURAI, also released that year. Sold to the US and re-cut with a pre-Perry Mason plugged in, the renamed GODZILLA became a hit here too, and over the years, a camp classic. BUT the 80-minute American GODZILLA—with 20 added minutes of Burr footage—lost 40 minutes of the original film, excising scenes that made the analogy to the atomic bomb explicit, including the original ending in which Takashi Shimura (SEVEN SAMURAI) worries that continued atomic tests might raise another monster. Also lost were emotional high points: amidst the flaming ruins of Tokyo, a mother reassures her daughter they’ll soon be seeing Daddy in heaven. What survives in both versions is the original monster—not the later, dumbed-down “camp classic”—but the night-dwelling, 150-foot Jurassic reptile intent on stomping any living thing in his path, including the exquisite miniature version of Tokyo created by Toho’s special effects genius Eiji Tsubaraya. Now, see this serious, cautionary sci-fi classic as it was meant to be seen! Directed/written by Ishiro Honda; co-written by Takeo Murata; produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka. Japan, 1954, b&w, 98 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. No passes accepted. Kennedy Center tickets may be purchased at the Kennedy Center only.

The director took artistic chances as well, triumphantly casting erstwhile ballerina Ludmila Savelyeva in her first acting role; using hand-held, point-of-view shots in 70mm; and super-impositions and split screens, even throwing scarves past the camera.
