. A synopsis provide by the festival reads: “After the war, Japan has been reduced to zero. Godzilla appears and plunges the country into a negative state. Against the most desperate situation in the history of Japan, how — and with whom —will Japan stand up to it?” “The Tokyo International Film Festival was the place where Godzilla made its debut. The opportunity to have an exclusive screening before its official release at such a prestigious film festival feels like destiny and is truly an honor,” said director Yamazaki Takashi.
“’Godzilla Minus One’ is a remarkable work that carries forward the spirit instilled by the original creators of the first ‘Godzilla,’ while also showcasing the many challenges that the director took on. I’m elated that this film, ahead of its worldwide release, can be presented as the closing film,” said the Tokyo festival’s programming director Ichiyama Shozo.
The Tokyo festival runs Oct. 23 – Nov 1. The accompanying TIFFCOM rights market runs Oct. 25 – 27 at a new venue in Hamamatsucho.
