The story of Otto von Spreckelsen, a real-life architecture teacher from Copenhagen who surprised the world when he won an open- call competition launched by French president François Mitterrand. Produced by Agat Films – Ex Nihilo, The Great Arch - L’Inconnu de la Grande Arche is a powerful film that blends political storytelling with an intimate human journey. To bring this little-known chapter of history to life, more than 100 VFX shots were crafted by the Film & Series teams at The Mill (formerly MPC Paris), under the supervision of Lise Fischer.

The entire image post-production was also completed in-house. A bold project, driven by a commitment to historical accuracy and visual integrity.

"This film isn’t about fantasy – it’s about history. And making history feel real on screen can be more demanding than inventing it.” Lise Fischer – VFX Supervisor
