As an original member of Act Up-Paris, Robin Campillo brings detail and authenticity to his fictionalized account of the fight against the AIDS epidemic in the early 1990s. Bring your Valentine!
Join us for the fourth film of the Tournées Film Festival! BPM is a fictionalized account of the history of Act Up-Paris, the triumphant true story of some of the great heroes of our era: the men and women who fought for the recognition and improved treatment of HIV and AIDS patients at a time when a diagnosis was a death sentence. As an original member of Act Up, writer-director Robin Campillo brings a detailed, thoroughly researched authenticity to his reconstruction of the activist organization’s politically and emotionally charged group meetings, its colorful protests, and the intimate relationships that bound the tight-knit group together. Bring your Valentine to this special story about love and activism. Snacks will be provided.
