Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him, and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key.
Based on Brian Selznick’s award winning and imaginative New York Times bestseller, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this magical tale is Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese’s first film shot in 3D.
Join us at the Media Arts Lab after the screening for a hands-on activity where viewers can draw on film strips and project them! The activity includes a film projection demonstration by JBFC projectionists. The screening will be introduced by Series Curator Monica Castillo.
