If you like #HeatedRivalry we invite you to Jump on, Rev up & join us for an exclusive screening of “PILLION” at Bendigo Cinemas on Sunday 19 April at 6:30pm.
This special Pride presentation brings one of the year’s most talked-about queer films to the big screen in Bendigo.
Directed by Harry Lighton, This critically acclaimed, romantic dark comedy‑drama explores the intense and unconventional relationship between Colin and Ray, set against the backdrop of biker and BDSM subcultures. The film also features performances from Lesley Sharp, Douglas Hodge and Jake Shears (of “Scissor Sisters”)
Pillion is adapted from the 2020 novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, in which a shy traffic enforcement officer falls for the ultimate dominant alpha male – an impossibly handsome, strong, emotionally impassive biker… who casually demands complete domestic obedience in exchange for physical pleasure.
⚠️ Content Warning: Pillion contains explicit sexual content, strong nudity, BDSM themes, consensual adult power play, strong language, and some emotional distress / self‑harm‑related content. It is rated R18+ in Australia for high‑impact nudity and sex scenes, and is suitable for adult audiences only.
This Pride screening is your only chance to experience this critically acclaimed queer film that’s equal parts provocative, heartfelt and thought‑provoking — a celebration of queer storytelling on the big screen in Bendigo🌟
