257 - Arco & the Clouds Away Cocktail
Description
This week we’re chatting all things Oscars, Arco, and The Independent Picture House with Claire Lechtenberg, Director of Development & Marketing for IPH! To celebrate, we are stepping into the prismatic, hand-drawn wonder of the 2026 Oscar-nominated animated masterpiece: Arco.
Directed by Ugo Bienvenu and produced by Natalie Portman, this film is a breathtaking 2D odyssey. We’ll follow the story of Arco, a 10-year-old boy from a utopian future who crash-lands in the year 2075. We’ll discuss the film's heartfelt friendship between Arco and Iris, and how it manages to be a hopeful, kaleidoscopic answer to an uncertain future
To match the film’s stunning visual palette and Arco’s time-traveling rainbow trail, we’re shaking up a drink that literally transforms in your hand: Clouds Away! A cocktail as beautiful and complex as the film it pays honor to.
Check out The Independent Picture House to check out all the amazing movies and programs they have going on!
