A Month of Queer Resistance Cinema - 120 BPM (120 battements par minute) (2017)
🏳️🌈 Pride Month at TicTic - Celebrating Queer Cinema 🏳️⚧️
🗓 Thursday, June 18 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Directed by Robin Campillo, 120 BPM follows members of ACT UP Paris during the early 1990s as they organise protests, disrupt institutions, and fight for visibility and medical access amid the AIDS crisis. Combining political urgency with intimate emotional storytelling, the film focuses on the collective dynamics of activism alongside the developing relationship between activists Sean and Nathan.
Campillo, himself a former ACT UP member, constructs the film with remarkable immediacy and authenticity, capturing both the strategic debates of activism and the personal realities of illness, fear, exhaustion, and desire. The film refuses nostalgia, instead presenting resistance as messy, confrontational, communal, and deeply human. As part of TicTic’s Pride Month celebration of queer resistance cinema, 120 BPM remains one of the defining cinematic works about queer activism and collective political struggle.
“A furious, heartbreaking and vital film.”
— Sight & Sound
“One of the great political films of the decade.”
— The Guardian
🎟 Free Entry & Popcorn – Arrive early for sofa, bed, or beanbag seating.
