**The Red Turtle by Michaël Dudok de Wit (Animated Film for Families)**
A symbolic fable about nature, solitude, and rebirth, telling the story of a castaway on a deserted island and his encounter with a mysterious red turtle. An animated dream without dialogue, born from a co-production between Studio Ghibli and Wild Bunch, with Master Takahata serving as the artistic producer.
*Organized by Fridays For Future Bari and Climate Justice Now! Bari*

From June 19, 2025, L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE awaits you at the ExpostModerno arena for the FESTIVAL OF CINEMA IN FREEDOM 2025.
During the festival, feature films and short films for young and adults will be presented, and numerous meetings between authors and the public will be organized. The whole event is spread over a series of weekly appointments that will accompany you throughout the summer, until about mid-September.
This is an experiment in a participatory festival that brings together associations and more, creating a series of screenings for everyone, absolutely everyone, including your little ones. The Arena is also Pet Friendly.
We volunteers will be at the arena to welcome you alongside numerous organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
