HUMP! returns with an entirely new collection of short films for Fall 2026.

For over two decades, HUMP! has been a platform for independent filmmakers to explore intimacy, identity, and connection without compromise. What began as a bold experiment has grown into a global showcase of boundary-pushing cinema where emerging voices and seasoned creators present work that is as thoughtful as it is provocative.

Created and curated by Dan Savage, HUMP! has spent more than two decades proving that erotic filmmaking can be hilarious, heartfelt, artistic, vulnerable, political, bizarre, beautiful and unlike anything you'll find anywhere else.

This HUMP! collection invites audiences into playful explorations of vulnerability, devotion, transformation, queer intimacy, friendship, kink, humor, and love alongside a healthy amount of wonderfully unhinged creativity.

Unlike mainstream adult entertainment, HUMP! celebrates authentic bodies, genuine chemistry, creative storytelling, and the messy, funny, emotional reality of human sexuality. Every screening is experienced together inside a theater, where laughter, surprise, awkwardness, applause, and conversation become part of the show. 

Whether you're a longtime Veteran HUMP!er or simply curious what happens when some of the world's most imaginative filmmakers are given complete creative freedom, this season promises an unforgettable night at the theaters.

Come curious. Leave with a new favorite film and probably a story you'll be telling for years.
