Founded 2005 Founded by Dan Savage Language English Website www.humpfilmfest.com **HUMP!** is an annual film festival founded by [Dan Savage](/source/Dan_Savage) in 2005.[1] HUMP! describes itself as "the world's best [amateur porn](/source/Amateur_pornography) film festival."[1] The festival—which premiered in [Seattle, Washington](/source/Seattle%2C_Washington), and [Portland, Oregon](/source/Portland%2C_Oregon)—showcases home-movie [erotica](/source/Erotica), amateur sex cinema, and locally produced [pornography](/source/Pornography),[2] all of which must be five minutes or less.[1] Films are rated by the audience, and awards are given.[1] HUMP! expanded to 14 additional cities in 2014, starting with sold-out shows at the [Music Box Theater](/source/Music_Box_Theatre_(Chicago)) in Chicago.[1] As of 2023, HUMP!'s annual tour includes more than fifty cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe.[1] Each year the festival kicks off in Seattle and Portland before beginning its global tour.[1] In its early years, Dan Savage would destroy the single [DVD](/source/DVD) containing the films, ensuring performers' privacy was preserved forever.[1] In 2023, however, HUMP! launched a [streaming](/source/Streaming_media) library of past entries to allow for "timeless appreciation of [the] festival's creative brilliance."[1] HUMP! encourages filmmakers to produce entries specifically for HUMP! itself. Several films that premiered at HUMP! have been re-released and achieved significant commercial success, including the gay feature "Lawnboy" and [Gloria Brame's](/source/Gloria_Brame) short [mockumentary](/source/Mockumentary), "How To Get A Leg Up In Porn."[3] ## In popular culture At the [25th Sundance Film Festival](/source/25th_Sundance_Film_Festival), the independent film *[Humpday](/source/Humpday)* featured characters creating a submission for the HUMP! film festival. The story of two straight men making a gay erotic film for the HUMP! opened to strongly positive reviews.[4][5][6][7] In 2012, [Yvan Attal](/source/Yvan_Attal) made a remake of *Humpday* under the title *[Do Not Disturb](/source/Do_Not_Disturb_(2012_film))*.[8] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-:0_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-:0_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-:0_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-:0_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-:0_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-:0_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-:0_1-6) [***h***](#cite_ref-:0_1-7) [***i***](#cite_ref-:0_1-8) ["about"](https://www.humpfilmfest.com/home). *HUMP!*.
