DESIRE. LEATHER. LAUGHTER.

An evening of seduction, subversion, and cinema - all in support of Aotearoa’s Rainbow communities. The Capitol Cinema and the Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust invite audiences to surrender - joyfully - to the year’s most intoxicating cinematic surprise.

PILLION, the acclaimed and unexpectedly tender love story from writer-director Harry Lighton, screens in an exclusive New Zealand Preview at The Capitol.

Film begins at 8:00pm. Doors open at 7:00pm. Arrive early. Arrive curious.

A LOVE STORY THAT MISBEHAVES

Hilarious, provocative, and disarmingly romantic, PILLION pairs Melling and Skarsgård in fearless performances as a mild young man and his leather-clad lover. What begins in kink unfolds into something startlingly human - a film that is as funny as it is raw, and far more tender than it first appears. This isn’t shock for shock’s sake. It’s desire, examined. Devotion, negotiated. Identity, unbuttoned.

CINEMA WITH PURPOSE

This special screening supports the Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust, Aotearoa’s longstanding champion of LGBTTQIA+ communities. For over 25 years, the Trust has raised and distributed over $950,000 in grants to more than 220 organisations and awarded over 95 scholarships to emerging Rainbow leaders. This is glamour with generosity. Pleasure with purpose.
