Dan Savage's Amateur Erotic Film Fest Coming to Music Box

HUMP! Film Festival will be coming to the Music Box Theatre on Feb. 15.

The HUMP! Film Festival, the amateur erotic film festival started by sex columnist and activist Dan Savage, is coming to Chicago. 

The Music Box Theatre is hosting the Chicago stop of the HUMP! Tour, which will be held on Sat., Feb. 15 with three showings — 5 p.m., 8 p.m. and and 11 p.m. Tickets are $25, and can be purchased in advance here

"Since 2005, the HUMP! Film Festival has challenged ordinary people from all over the Pacific Northwest to become temporary, weekend porn stars — by making their very own five-minute dirty movies for a chance to win big cash prizes," says a description on the Music Box website

Fifteen short films — some funny, some sad, some outrageous — will be shown at the Music Box. 

"I would say the overriding thing is that it's hilarious," Robert Crocker, the producer of the tour, told DNAinfo. "You're going to see things that most people wouldn't click on at home if they were watching porn on their computer." 

Dan Savage himself will be at the event and answer questions, DNAinfo states. 

You can check out a preview from the 2013 festival here although, warning, it's NSFW.
