FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL & IFI FAMILY: ARCO

Director: Ugo Bienvenu

82 mins, France-USA, 2025, Digital, Subtitled, IFI Age Rec: 6+


A young girl Iris comes across 10-year-old Arco, a time traveller from the future, who has crash-landed on Earth, using a gloriously rainbow-coloured time travel suit. It is 2075, and with a climate crisis threatening, Iris and her minder robot Mikki form a bond with Arco and set out to get him back home. Exquisite colours, and a hand-drawn style showing anime influences, make for a gorgeous universe through which the trio travel, defying storms, and keeping Arco safe from those in pursuit. A moving, brave tale, ending on a hopeful note for the future.
