5th Annual Walk for Nohema

Saturday Step

Free Movie: HUGO

Step back in time to 1930s Paris and kick off the Farm to Film Fest with a special screening of the 11-time Academy Award-nominated masterpiece, Hugo.

Directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese, Hugo is a stunning "love letter to cinema." It tells the enchanting story of Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), an orphaned boy living secretly in the walls of a bustling Paris train station. When he encounters a mysterious girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) and a bitter toy shop owner (Ben Kingsley), he embarks on a magical quest to solve a mystery left by his father (Jude Law) and discovers the world of pioneering filmmaker Georges Méliès.

This visual wonder is the perfect film to experience in a place as timeless as the story itself. Join us at the Historic State Theatre—the oldest continuously operating cinema theater in the world—for this one-of-a-kind event.
