Years ago, what is now the Barrymore Theatre showed a slate of what used to be called dirty movies. The HUMP! Film Festival revives that tradition but in a better way and for one night only with this curated evening of sex-positive and inclusive works. Audiences participate in choosing their favorites, in Best Sex, Best Kink, Best Humor and Best in Show.

press release: Dan Savage (creator of the Savage Love sex advice column, the popular Savage Lovecast podcast, and the It Gets Better Project) is thrilled to announce that the 18th annual HUMP! Film Festival is coming to The Barrymore, March 25, 2023.

The HUMP! Film Festival is a showcase of sex-positive short films, all curated by Savage. These dirty movies are almost all created by people who aren’t porn stars but want to be one just for this festival. The films run the gamut of body sizes, shapes, ages, colors, sexualities, genders, kinks, and fetishes. It is a unique celebration of creative sexual expression.

HUMP! has become a national phenomenon selling tens of thousands of tickets, screening in over 50 cities across the United States and Canada. “We received more submissions than ever this year, which made it extra difficult to choose our 2023 lineup,” says Savage. “I can safely say this is one of our wildest HUMP!s yet!”

Audiences will get to choose their favorite entries in categories such as Best Sex, Best Kink, Best Humor and Best in Show. Online streaming dates are also available through May 28.

HUMP! will be at The Barrymore March 25, 2023, with a 7:30PM showing.
