At the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, which audience honor did the film Quinceañera win?

At the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, Quinceañera won the Audience Award.

The film also received the festival’s Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic category, giving it two major honors at Sundance. The Audience Award specifically reflects votes or ratings from festival attendees, distinguishing it from juried prizes selected by an appointed panel.

Quinceañera premiered during a period when independent American films were drawing attention to LGBTQ+ stories and Latino communities. Its plot centers on Magdalena’s quinceañera, but the film’s broader subject is the meaning of family when religious, cultural, and personal expectations collide. Because the film won more than one Sundance honor, answers that simply name a prize without identifying the award can be incomplete. The requested honor is the audience-selected prize, not the separate Grand Jury Prize.
