SLM Movie Night – PILLION

SLM Movie Night — PILLION
We’re excited to introduce SLM Movie Night, our very first cinema-based social, and what a way to begin. We’re heading to see PILLION, a bold, provocative film that speaks directly to power, desire, identity, and the complexity of kink and leather relationships. Pillion explores the dynamic between a dominant biker and a younger submissive, unpacking consent, control, vulnerability, and the unspoken rules that bind them. It’s raw, intimate, and unapologetic, a film that resonates deeply with leather and fetish communities and invites reflection long after the credits roll.
We’re excited to confirm that this private screening of PILLION is now locked in.

Accessibility Update
We want to be transparent that we made genuine efforts to arrange a private screening with captions. Palace Cinemas worked collaboratively with us and contacted the film’s distributor on our behalf. Unfortunately, the distributor has confirmed that no open-captioned version of the film is available, and the cinema required for this private screening does not have closed-caption technology. We regret that captions cannot be provided for this session.

CONTENT WARNING
Ahead of the event, we want to share something important in a considered and respectful way. We have been made aware that some clubs and community groups have reported that aspects of the film may be triggering for individuals who have experienced unhealthy or harmful dominant/submissive dynamics. We understand that power exchange themes can affect people differently, particularly where past experiences have been difficult or traumatic.
With that in mind, we feel it’s important to make you aware that concerns have been raised and that some viewers may find parts of the film confronting or upsetting.
If this is something that may impact you, we encourage you to do a little research on the film’s content beforehand and make the decision that feels right for you. Your wellbeing always comes first.
Will the movie have closed captions, open captions or subtitles for the Deaf?
We will do our best to find a session with one of the options. we cant confirm as cinema’s have not confirmed sessions as yet but it will be a consideration.
Would really love to come but unfortunately clashes with the Bear Essentials sauna party. Busy calendar time, of course, during Mardi Gras. Will send loving leather wishes in solidarity! Steve x
Ok, guess you have to choose what’s important at this time of year.
When will we hear about the location of the venue
Hey Al, At this stage Hoyts havent been very co-operative, that said Palace at Moore Park are keen to have us and we are in discussions with them.
As an alternative option if a venue can’t be secured. As part of Mardi Gras Film Festival (Queer Screen), Pillion is also being shown on the 17th Feb at Event Cinemas George Street.
thanks, for the moment we feel confident we have things sorted
