QFilm is a group for LGBTQIA film-lovers that has been running in Northampton since 2014 (and is now run under the QStory umbrella). We meet up once or twice a month to watch queer-themed films at the Northampton Filmhouse then move on to a nearby venue to discuss what we thought of it. All are welcome to join us.

You will need to buy your film ticket directly from the filmhouse which you can do here:

“Pillion is a wonderful film that’s heavy with purpose… All that and it’s also very, very hot.”★★★★★ Time Out

“It’s basically what Fifty Shades of Grey should have been.” ★★★★ The Guardian

“Melling’s high-wire skill at cycling between elation and sadness keeps the film resolutely grounded. It’s a triumphant risk to have taken, and very much the performance of his career to date.” ★★★★ The Daily Telegraph

“It’s knotty stuff for a first film but Lighton finds a delicate balance between disturbing, funny, sweet and sad.” ★★★★ The Times

“Pillion lets audiences encounter every shade of explicit without veering into hardcore territory… Solely shocking viewers is not the point. Instead we’re immersed in a vivid relationship that leaves its mark after the credits roll.” ★★★★ metro.co.uk
