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. Our 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.

• The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. In their epic shows, audiences are taken on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to DooWopified versions of modern musicians like Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. The stars of Broadway’s hits Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical, and A Bronx Tale bring unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history. https://www.thedoowopproject.com/

• SoCal world premier. Tony award winner Christine Andreas
• Click here for Friday, February 28th tickets
• Click here for Saturday, February 29th tickets
• Broadway award-winning star and concert star Christine Andreas, Singing both in English and in French, Andreas draws from her one-woman show, where she was lauded by The New York Times..." Andreas's ravishing voice with its rapid vibrato, metallic edge...(and) snapping emotional electricity, has made her a potent interpreter of Piaf."
• "Edith Piaf is one persistent life force...and not knowing where that force is currently residing, I am stating here and now...Piaf is haunting or downright stalking me!" Andreas went on to say, "I think she wanted her record to be set straight. Piaf did her own PR, she promoted a lot of 'fake news". I tell a truer, more humanizing story. She was a great soul. Yes, she had a crazy life, but she lived the life she wanted, fueled by her boundless joie de vivre. Her credo, the most important thing in life is a resilient heart. The people who knew her, her closest friends, spoke of her warmth, her continual laughter, her generosity and capacity for friendship, how she vibrated to the music and her biggest love affair was with the audience.
• PIAF - NO REGRETS.Why did I want to create a show on Edith Piaf??? Everybody knows Edith Piaf? we all know her story, right????.Non! No, actually, we don't! You see, the truth is, its hard to know the truth about Piaf.and THAT is the fault of Piaf herself, who had total disdain for the ordinary.. as if there was anything ordinary in the life of Edith Piaf!
• Born in abject poverty, abandoned by her mother at birth, raised in a brothel run by her grandmother, blinded at the age of 3, ultimately singing on every street corner of Paris for survival till she was discovered at 20..and this was just the beginning! Still she grew to become the rock-star of her time, a consummate artist delivering power-house performances that emanated from her raw, visceral need to connect through music the era she was sharing with her audience.
• Her life was public domain, the affairs, the drugs, the tragedies, the triumphs but being PIAF.she felt the need to embellish the truth. So, Edith is with the greatest respect that I am going to do my best to dis-embellish everything about you, and with PIAF - NO REGRETS, separate for this audience the ever-so-juicy facts from your ever-so-juicy fiction allowing your true brilliance to dazzle audiences world-wide!

HUMP! returns to Palm Springs in 2020 with ALL NEW FILMS! The 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. Our 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.
