Introduction by Jerry Lee Abram

Fresh from its world premiere at Frameline Film Festival, Valencia is experimental, kinky, queer, artistic, radical, sexy, and at times touchingly sincere. It is based on Michelle Tea’s 2000 groundbreaking autobiographical novel about her life in early 90s San Francisco. To create the film, Tea handed each of the chapters to a different director, each of whom cast a different “Michelle”, including Lynn Breedlove, Annie Danger, Tea herself, and Lil Miss Hot Mess. Tea captures the essence of the film when she states “We were not gay. We were queer. We were dykes. We were really against the man and capitalism and always aware of everything that was unfair and unjust.”
