Pillion: Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Where culture and leather identity meet

Leather Club Roma is pleased to present the screening of the film Pillion, scheduled for Saturday, February 14 at 8:30 PM at Nuovo Cinema L’Aquila (Rome).

This initiative represents an important step in a path the Club has pursued for years: affirming leather not only as an identity and community expression, but also as culture, storytelling, and presence in public spaces. The screening is also part of a coordinated national pathway, in synergy with the screening that will soon take place in Milan, curated by Leather & Fetish Milano (LFM), strengthening collaboration between Italian leather realities in promoting shared cultural moments.

The film Pillion explores themes, relational dynamics, and imaginaries that directly resonate with elements present in our community. Bringing this story into a cinema space means building a bridge between community, culture, and society, fostering awareness, representation, and dialogue.

The screening will be in original language with Italian subtitles.
