2026 Hump! Film Festival

2026 HUMP! Film Festival brings an entirely new Fall 2026 collection of short films to Black Cat. Dan Savage’s long-running indie erotic film festival showcases funny, sexy, kinky, thoughtful, and provocative work made by independent filmmakers around the world.

The festival presents a joyful, inclusive celebration of intimacy, identity, connection, bodies, genders, sexualities, kinks, and creative storytelling. Films are selected by the HUMP! Jury, and no individual film runs longer than five minutes, creating a roughly 90-minute experience that can be funny, surprising, moving, and sometimes blush-inducing.
