A poetic time travel adventure on the cinema screen of filmforum
With Arco - A Fantastic Journey Through Time, a imaginative animated film will come to filmforum Duisburg on May 31, 2026, combining time travel, friendship, and questions about the future into a quietly glowing stage experience of a special kind. The ten-year-old Arco lives in a distant future with special cloaks that allow flying and traveling through time, but lands during his first secret flight in 2075. There, he meets Iris, whose daily life is shaped by ecological crises, holograms, and protection systems. This leads to a touching adventure about trust, care, and hope.

When imagination and the present collide
The staging relies on a clear, visually strong dramaturgy: A child from the future collides with a world where technology not only protects but also threatens. This is where the tension of the film lies. Ugo Bienvenu tells the story as a poetic science fiction for families, where adventure and reflection support each other. The specialist press describes the film as a charming, hopeful fable with impressive world designs and an approach that takes children and adults seriously.

Why this cinema experience is touching
Arco is not loud spectacle but a finely crafted fantasy piece with a warm heart. The story connects visions of the future, environmental issues, and childlike curiosity into a precise emotional arc. This blend of quiet sensitivity and grand ideas makes the film particularly effective in cinemas: The screen becomes a stage for a world where humanity and nature are renegotiated. Vision Kino classifies the film as a future story about friendship, trust, and the question of how we want to live.

The filmforum Duisburg as a fitting framework
The filmforum at Dellplatz is a suitable place for such presentations: The municipal cinema works with a historical film ambition, offers two halls, and has 179 seats in filmforum as well as 90 seats in filmstudio. For the journey, the venue points out numerous parking spaces in the surroundings, which are free of charge from 20:00. The box office generally opens 30 minutes before the start on performance days, earlier for afternoon and children's cinema events. It should be noted: Unfortunately, the building is not barrier-free, and the restrooms are not wheelchair accessible. ([filmforum.de](https://filmforum.de/datenschutz/faq/))
