In the Belly of AI - I sacrificati dell'IA di Henri Poulain

In the Belly of AI – The Sacrificed of AI by Henri Poulain

Magical, autonomous, omnipotent: artificial intelligences fuel our dreams and nightmares, but the reality of their production remains invisible. While data centers cement over landscapes and drain rivers, millions of workers around the world prepare the data that feeds Big Tech algorithms, paying the price in terms of their mental and emotional health. A well-documented investigation into the human and environmental costs of the new digital revolution.

FESTA DEL CINEMA IN LIBERTÀ PROGRAM
On June 16, 2026, L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE will reopen the doors of the ExpostModerno open-air cinema for the summer, hosting the 2026 FESTA DEL CINEMA IN LIBERTÀ.

During the festival, feature films and short films for young people and adults will be presented, along with numerous meetings between filmmakers and audiences. The program will consist of a series of weekly events accompanying you throughout the summer, until around mid-September.

This is an experiment in a participatory film festival bringing together associations and other organizations, creating a series of screenings for everyone… absolutely everyone: your little ones are included too. The arena is also pet-friendly!

We volunteers will be at the arena to welcome you, together with the many organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
