Film Screenings and ‘Winter Warrior’ Workshops at the Museum of the Moving Image

The school break presents great opportunities to unwind, not to mention watch cinematic stories unspool. This Queens museum will offer both, screening “Kubo and the Two Strings” in 3-D daily at 12:30 p.m. from Dec. 26 through Jan. 2 (except Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, when showings are at noon). This stop-motion animated odyssey, directed by Travis Knight, follows the title character, a one-eyed Japanese boy, as he pursues a heroic quest in the company of a sardonic monkey and a sillier soul who’s half beetle, half samurai. The same days, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., drop-in workshops will focus on activities like origami, character design and animation. Fans of live action can also catch Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo,” a 3-D adaptation of Brian Selznick’s graphic novel about a boy and the invention of film, on Dec. 24 at 2:30 p.m. and Dec. 30 at 3 p.m. Mr. Selznick himself will introduce this weekend’s screening.
