**SOME INFO ABOUT THE FESTIVAL OF FREE CINEMA**
On June 19, 2025, L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE reopened the doors of the ExpostModerno arena for the FESTIVAL OF FREE CINEMA 2025.

During the festival, feature films and short films for young people and adults will be presented, and numerous meetings between authors and the public will be organized. All will be spread out over weekly events that will accompany you throughout the summer, approximately until mid-September.

This is an experiment in a participatory showcase where associations and more come together to create a series of screenings for everyone, absolutely everyone, including your pets. The arena is also Pet Friendly.

We, the volunteers, will be in the arena to welcome you alongside numerous organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
