You have an upcoming event   (Return To) Valencia Sunday Jun 22, 2025 ⋅ 3:30pm – 4:30pm (Pacific Time - Los Angeles) Twenty-five years ago, Michelle Tea's Valencia hit shelves. Over a decade later, the Sister Spit poet-turned-memoirist's time-capsule of '90s San Francisco queer subculture was adapted into a radical, community-made film. Valencia is helmed by Tea and twenty lesbian, queer, and trans directors, from Cheryl Dunye (The Watermelon Woman, Frameline20) to Joey Soloway (Transparent) to Silas Howard (By Hook or By Crook, Frameline25). To celebrate the book's anniversary, Frameline is screening Valencia for the first time since the movie premiered to two sold-out shows at the Castro Theatre during Frameline37 in 2013. Just twelve years into its legacy, the collaborative, experimental film is a reminder of the power and singularity of all of our queer stories. A gritty, beautiful collage of styles, tones, and Michelles, Valencia is like a cinematic zine — one that was penned, printed, and stapled by the now-titans of queer film. And for those looking to "run through the streets in excellent danger," you can join Michelle Tea on a Mission walking-tour-meets-reading of Valencia. https://www.frameline.org/films/frameline49/return-to-valencia Location Roxie Theater 3117 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States View map Guests View all event details Invitation from Google Calendar You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to calendar notifications.
