The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Arco

Fri. 20 March 2026 — Thu. 26 March 2026

In a distant future, a 10-year-old boy accidentally travels back in time to the year 2075, and discovers a world in peril.

Upon landing, Arco develops a friendship with a young girl named Iris, and together set out on a quest to get Arco home, while the two children may also be the only ones who can save our planet.

In this time-bending animated adventure, the friendship between two children from different eras delivers hope and optimism for our future, against a warning about our failure to preserve our environment.

An enchanting debut feature from director and comic artist Ugo Bienvenu.
