2025 HUMP! PART ONE - Durham

It's HUMP!'s 20th Anniversary!

HUMP! has been serving up hot, heavy, and hilarious "dirty" film shorts to the masses for two whole decades, and we're kicking off this milestone year with the first of two ALL-NEW lineups for 2025. *Read the Part One film descriptions and watch the teaser video HERE. All Part One screenings feature the same lineup of films.

Q: I've never been to HUMP! before...can you tell me more about it?
A: Dan Savage's HUMP! – the world's best indie erotic film fest – is adult entertainment by real people for real people. Every year, hot, creative, and kinky bite-sized shorts (no film is longer than 5 minutes) are submitted by creators from around the world, and the HUMP! Jury selects the best of the best to create joyful, sex-positive, and inclusive feature-length lineups.

Q: So...I'm going to watch adult films in a theater full of strangers?
A: These aren't your typical adult films! HUMP! takes pride in celebrating all body types, shapes, ages, colors, sexualities, genders, kinks, and fetishes, and these insanely creative, independently-made shorts often redefine the adult genre. You'll see things you'd never see sitting at home, and you'll immediately find yourself cheering, clapping, and laughing along with the crowd!

Our 20 year mission of creating a public space for sex-positivity, representation, and inclusivity is feeling more important than ever, but we’re up for the challenge and we know you are, too! And when you purchase a ticket to HUMP!, you’re supporting ethical content creation – in addition to being eligible for up to $10,000 in audience and jury awards, filmmakers receive a percentage of every ticket sold. So what are you waiting for? Come get some!
