S.F. Godzillafest 2026 will include a July 18 presentation built around Bong Joon-ho's 2006 creature film The Host. Animation supervisor Webster Colcord is scheduled to accompany the screening with behind-the-scenes clips, production photographs, and a physical model of the creature, giving the audience direct production context rather than treating the film only as a repertory screening.

For the stop-motion record, the event is relevant as an example of a public programme preserving and interpreting practical animation and creature-production materials across the boundary between stop motion, model work, and digital visual effects. The announced use of original production imagery and a creature model makes the session a useful lead for later research into Colcord's animation-supervision work and the hybrid techniques used on The Host; the source does not specify that the feature itself was produced through stop-motion photography.
