Mission-based literary types are all more than familiar with Valencia, the 2000 novel that put local writer Michelle Tea on the map, and which was republished in a paperback edition in 2008. It's an ode to the late '90s in the Mission as much as it is a portrait of the then emerging subculture of post-punk queer women like herself who lived there. Now, the chapters of the autobiographical book have been turned into a series of short films, known as "Valencia: The Movie/s," and it will be getting a screening at this year's S.F. gay and lesbian film festival, Frameline.

The festival runs from June 20 to 30, coinciding with Pride Month. The full festival schedule has not yet been released, but you can see a few details here, including information about the opening night, closing night, and centerpiece screenings. This year's centerpiece film is "Valentine Road," a documentary about the 2008 murder of 15-year-old Larry King.

Above is Chapter 3 of "Valencia: The Movie/s," made by Portland filmmaker Aubree Bernier-Clarke, which was shot in and around Portland and which centers on Tea's foray into prostitution.
