Miami’s leading movie Art House O Cinema has very catholic tastes, and not the religious kind, As well as screening the best eclectic indie movies that have made them a crucial destination in the city’s hip Wynwood district, they are also not adverse to getting down and dirty sometimes too. Next week, starting Friday 31st March they are hosting Dan Savage’s HUMP! Film Fest for the second year running.
If you missed it last year, more fool you as HUMP! brings audiences a new kind of porn, and has been doing so since 2005. The festival features short dirty movies—each less than five minutes—all created by people who aren’t porn stars but want to be one for a weekend. The filmmakers and stars show us what they think is hot and sexy, creative and kinky, their ultimate turn-ons and their craziest fantasies. The carefully curated program is a cornucopia of body types, shapes, ages, colors, sexualities, genders, kinks, and fetishes—all united by a shared spirit of sex-positivity.
The joy of HUMP! is that it is a celebration of creative sexual expression. There are films at HUMP! that shock you, and others that just turn you on, and some that will simply make you laugh.
queerguru spoke to O Cinema’s co-director Kareem Tabsch “Hump celebrates the diversity of gender and sexuality in a positive and impactful way- plus it’s a whole lot of fun. As so many parts of the world, including most notably here in the US, are attempting to regress the progress of women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community back to a puritanical era; this type of sex positive programming is vital.”
HUMP!’s main mission is to change the way America sees—and makes and shares—porn. And that surely cannot be a bad thing.
