BPM (Beats Per Minute) by Robin Campillo

In the early 1990s, Act Up-Paris activists intensified their actions and provocations against the general indifference surrounding the epidemic and AIDS patients.

Gay men, lesbians, and mothers engaged in creative, nonviolent yet spectacular debates and actions to inform, prevent, raise awareness, and hold society accountable. Within the organization, founded in 1989 based on its American counterpart, Nathan, a neophyte seeking redemption, met and fell in love with Sean, a flamboyant activist and marker of the virus's progression. Between conflicts and strategies, Nathan and Sean lived out their remaining time forcefully.

Il film fa parte della rassegna cinematografica in approfondimento alla mostra VIVONO.
