Special preview screening of the new film PILLION followed by Q&A with filmmaker Harry Lighton. The Coolidge Breakthrough Artist Award was established in 2023 to celebrate the bold and innovative film artists who represent the future of cinema. Our 2026 honoree is writer-director Harry Lighton, who will join us for a special preview screening of his electrifying debut feature, PILLION.
Hilarious, subversive and sexy, PILLION is an acclaimed and surprisingly tender love starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård in fearless performances as a mild young man and his leather-clad lover. The film premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and has won critical raves, including a Best Adapted Screenplay prize at the 2025 Gotham Awards and a Directors Guild of America (DGA) nomination for Best First-Time Theatrical Feature Film.
After the screening, Lighton will participate in a Q&A and be presented with The Coolidge Breakthrough Artist Award.
PILLION opens at the Coolidge on Friday, February 13.
