The Best Animated Feature Academy Award nominee Arco tells the story of a young girl named Iris who lives in the year 2075, in an era where humanity is overly reliant on technology, and Earth is subject to environmental disasters like massive daily wildfires. Disconnected from her parents, Iris is depressed, though her life changes for the brighter with the arrival of Arco, a boy from the future who travels through time using a rainbow cape and body suit. The film is the feature-length debut of French director Ugo Bienvenu, who honed his painterly visual style in previous short films and music videos. In fact, according to a new featurette shared with Polygon via Arco’s distributor Neon, one particular music video from Bienvenu’s library had a direct impact on Arco‘s widely praised artwork.
