Starting tonight, Dan Savage arrives in Chicago for a special live recording of the Savage Lovecast and to host the HUMP! Film Festival: with 22 all new films for 2016!

Join Dan, Nancy, and the Tech-Savvy At-Risk Youth for a live recording of his podcast. Dan will answer sex questions from the audience, with some help from other revered freaks and special guest comedian Emily Galati.

Dan Savage's HUMP! Film Festival has been bringing audiences a new kind of porn 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.

HUMP! is a celebration of creative sexual expression. You will see films at HUMP! that shock you. You will see films at HUMP! that make you laugh. And you will see films at HUMP! that turn you on. You will also be touched by the sincerity and vulnerability with which these films are lovingly made. HUMP!'s main mission is to change the way America sees—and makes and shares—porn.

For a preview of all the fun at this year's festival, check out the brand new HUMP! trailer, and get in the mood!
