**PROGRAM FOR THE CINEMA IN FREEDOM FESTIVAL**
On June 16, 2026, *L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE* will reopen for the summer at the ExpostModerno arena, where the **FESTIVAL OF CINEMA IN FREEDOM 2026** will take place. During the festival, feature films and short films for young people and adults will be presented, along with numerous meetings between authors and the audience. All of this will unfold in a series of weekly events that will accompany you throughout the summer, until about mid-September. This is an experiment in a participatory showcase that brings together various associations and more, giving life to a series of screenings for everyone... and we mean everyone: your little ones are included too. The Arena is also Pet Friendly! Our volunteers will be in the arena to welcome you alongside the many organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
