When's the last time you sat next to strangers in a dark, crowded theater and watched hardcore porn, soft-core porn, and animated porn? When’s the last time you binged on kinky, vanilla, straight, gay, lez, bi, trans, genderqueer films? If you're a regular HUMPer, it's been a year. (Too long!) And if you've never been to HUMP! before... it's been forever! (Way too long!) But however long it’s been—a year, a lifetime—you don’t have to wait any longer! HUMP!—The Stranger and the Portland Mercury's 11th annual amateur porn festival—is back!
Since 2005, HUMP! has encouraged people from all over the Pacific Northwest—and now the whole country!—to make and star in porn their own five-minute porn films! Created and performed by sex-positive people making porn for fun (and prizes—see below!), HUMP! has been making audiences laugh, gasp, and marvel at the diversity of human sexuality, sexual expression, and gender expression for more than a decade.
Never been to HUMP? Thinking about coming but having doubts? Puritanical religious upbringing? Saving yourself for Taylor Swift? Not quite ready to order tickets? Want a taste? Click here to watch HUMP’s first ever teaser-trailer!
