Hosted by Arlo Weierhauser

It’s hot, it’s kinky, it’s funny, it’s smart – and it’s nothing at all like mainstream adult entertainment! HUMP! is back for fall with 22 brand new short films so creative, so sexy, so completely unexpected – you’ll never experience anything else quite like this! It’s a full out counter to censorship, and an act of defiance that encourages us all to embrace ourselves, and each other, exactly as we are.

Thursday night screenings are discounted as a nod to our friends in the industry, but open to all! Avoid the weekend crowds and keep a few extra bucks in your pocket.

All shows hosted by Arlo Weierhauser, a stand up comedy wunderkind who has graced the stage of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Laugh It Forward on Apple TV, and Epix's Unprotected Sets. You've seen them on every stage in Portland, as well as in the Disney+ movie Timmy Failure and at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, High Plains Comedy Festival, Treefort Fest, Big Sky comedy fest, and Montreal's Just For Laughs comedy fest. They were named Portland's Funniest Person in 2017.

Join the resistance, support the creators of ethical and inclusive adult content in an open and welcoming space, and have a great time doing it!

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 the people for the 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 just sitting at home clicking around the internet, and you'll immediately find yourself cheering, applauding, 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! When you purchase a ticket to HUMP!, you're supporting ethical adult 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.

HUMP! will shock you. HUMP! will make you laugh. HUMP! will turn you on. So what are you waiting for? Come get some!
