LOS ANGELES — Organizers of the 15th annual Hump! Film Festival are tub-thumping its final five dates, including a screening for European viewers. The celebration of amateur erotica was forced to cancel its planned spring tour due to the coronavirus pandemic and pivoted to an online event.
Sexpert Dan Savage co-founded the festival and hosts the online series.
"We at Hump! were crushed to cancel our originally planned spring tour, with the coronavirus crisis forcing us all inside. But after receiving enthusiastic support and permission from the filmmakers to show their films online, we knew that the show must go on," a rep said.
The European screening is scheduled for Friday at 8 p.m. (CET), with the remaining dates slotted for this Saturday at 9 p.m.; Friday, May 29 at 6 p.m.; Saturday, June 6 at 5 p.m.; and Friday, June 12 at 7 p.m.
All livestreams are Pacific Daylight Time, apart from Friday's European screening.
The 16 films in the Hump! program are "great dirty movies that showcase an amazing range of shapes, colors, sexualities, kinks and fetishes," enthused the rep.
