Dan Savage (creator of the Savage Love sex advice column, the popular Savage Lovecast podcast, the ITMFA campaign, and the It Gets Better Project) is thrilled to announce that the 17th annual HUMP! Film Festival, is coming to The Barrymore on March 26th, 2022.
The HUMP! Film Festival is a showcase of sex-positive short films, all curated by Savage. These dirty movies are 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. “When COVID hit in 2020, we took the festival online, with permission of the filmmakers,” says Savage. “As much as we missed being in theaters, we loved being able to make HUMP! more accessible to more people.”
This year, HUMP! is headed back on tour. “There is something irreplaceable about seeing HUMP! in a physical theater with other people, with strangers,” Savage says, “Despite our differences, there is an incredible shared experience during every screening. We see our shared desires, vulnerability, sense of humor, that shared need for intimacy. It’s bonding and kind of beautiful!”
HUMP! will be at The Barrymore on March 26 for a 6:30pm and 9pm screening.
