CGiii Comment

It tries so desperately hard to be subversive...it's not.

Seriously, this is a collection of home-movies...there little skill, a miniscule amount of talent...but a helluva lot of self-importance.

So...if you are a faux-subversive with a penchant for home-movies...you will be in your element.

The(ir) Blurb...

Writer Michelle Tea’s autobiography Valencia comes to life in this fun, collaborative production. Twenty-one queer filmmakers each shot a 5–7 minute short based on a chapter from the book. The result is a raucous and colourful film documenting the fun, anarchy and adventure of being a riot grrl punk in San Francisco dyke culture, with all the romance, grit, heartbreak, experimentation, awkwardness and antics. This film is not afraid to laugh at itself and will make you fall in love with the 90s all over again, like, totally.
