Directed by Ugo Bienvenu, Arco is a French animated science-fiction fable that premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Set in a near-future world shaped by climate collapse, the film follows a young girl who discovers a mysterious boy from another time washed ashore - an encounter that gradually reframes questions of memory, responsibility, and ecological inheritance.
Minimalist in dialogue but rich in atmosphere, Arco blends painterly 2D animation with speculative storytelling, positioning itself within the growing wave of European animated features aimed at adult audiences. It approaches environmental anxiety through intimacy rather than spectacle, favouring quiet emotional stakes over dystopian scale.
“An evocative and quietly haunting debut.”
- Cannes Directors’ Fortnight coverage
“A visually distinctive meditation on climate and memory.”
