In 2021, 85 million suspected pieces of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) were found online, equating to one film or image uploaded every two seconds – an alarming increase compared to 2020. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection wanted to make the growth of the global CSAM epidemic unignorable for everyone. No Fixed Address used AI to build an algorithm to create 85 million film posters, which were displayed online and through a live immersive experience that hijacked the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The Unwanted Film Festival is the world’s largest film festival hiding in plain sight.
