The Portland Mercury Presents 2026 HUMP! Film Festival: SPRING LINEUP - Portland, OR
Hosted by Kate Murphy

HUMP! Spring 2026 Is Coming (and Coming Hard)!

It’s hot, it’s hilarious, it’s heartfelt and it’s like nothing you’ll find online. HUMP! is back for Spring 2026, featuring brand new, wildly creative short films.

After 20 years of bringing independent, genre-bending adult cinema to the big screen, HUMP! now receives so many incredible, festival-worthy submissions that one lineup a year just isn’t enough. This new Spring collection is the first half of our 2026 program, and it’s filled with jaw-dropping artistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and daring scenes that will have you cheering right alongside the crowd. 

All screenings hosted by comedian Kate Murphy!

Kate Murphy is a Portland comedian, Helium Comedy Club regular, and emotional stable adult who wonce won Best Humor at the HUMP! Film Festival!  She's been doing stand-up in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade, which means she's performed in every type of venue imaginable and somehow managed to work with many of her comedy idols.  She was a finalist in Helium's Portland's Funniest Person contest and has performed in festivals across the region. HUMP! remains her favotie gig of the year.  Her comedy has been described as sharp, weird, and unsettling in a way that makes audiences laugh and then immediately reflect on their own life choices.

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!

When you purchase a ticket to HUMP!, you're supporting ethical adult content creation: HUMP! filmmakers are eligible to win a portion of $10,000 in prizes awarded annually by the audience and jury members.
