Arka is scheduled to have its world premiere at the World Festival of Animated film – Animafest Zagreb, where it has been selected for screening in two categories – the Grand Competition - Short Film and the Croatian Competition. This year, Animafest Zagreb should be held 8th – 13th June.   

In addition, Arka, a grotesque story about a lavish transoceanic cruise ship sailing the seas, has been selected to screen in competition of the International Festival of Animated Films – Anifilm, which was to be held 5th – 10th May in the Czech town of Liberec, however, due to the spread of the coronavirus, the festival has been postponed and will be held later this year, 6th – 11th October.
