Aftersun di Charlotte Wells - Festa del Cinema in Libertà 2026

**Aftersun** *by Charlotte Wells* (Cult Film) - (original version - Italian subtitles)
Sophie discovers, through old VHS tapes, a summer vacation with her father Calum at a Turkish resort. What seemed like a happy memory gradually reveals itself to be something she couldn't see then, and which she can no longer ignore.

**PROGRAM FOR THE CINEMA IN FREEDOM FESTIVAL**
On June 16, 2026, THE ARMY OF BRANCALEONE will reopen for the summer the doors of the ExpostModerno arena, where the **2026 CINEMA IN FREEDOM FESTIVAL** will take place.
During the festival, full-length and short films for young people and adults will be presented, and numerous meetings between authors and the audience will be organized. All this will be structured in a series of weekly events that will accompany you throughout the summer, until about mid-September.
This is an experiment in a participatory review that brings together various associations and more, creating a series of screenings for all, everyone, and everything... specifically, for everything: even your little ones are welcome. The Arena is also Pet Friendly!
We volunteers will be in the arena to welcome you alongside the numerous organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
