VALENCIA is a feature-length adaptation of the underground classic memoir by Michelle Tea created in a kaleidoscopic vision by a community of queer filmmakers. The film is set in San Francisco's Mission District in the early 90s during the rise of a punk lesbian diaspora told through the experiences of Michelle, a twenty-something searching for sex and love, drugs and adventure.
