About BFI LFF 2025: Pillion

A shy young man finds his place in the world as the submissive to a handsome biker, in Harry Lighton’s charming, sexy and tender debut.

Colin is a quiet, unassuming man with supportive parents whose world is rocked when he enters a dom-sub relationship with towering, attractive biker Ray. Navigating his new role, he learns about its pleasures and pains, including those that come with love, and in the process understanding his own boundaries. Sensitively directed, with captivating performances, this is a moving and surprisingly funny film that you will gladly submit to.

Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
