At the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, which jury prize did the film Quinceañera win?

The story behind the answer

At the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, the film Quinceañera won the Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic.

The film premiered at Sundance in January 2006, where its story of a Mexican American teenager preparing for her quinceañera attracted strong attention. The award is one of Sundance’s major competitive honors for narrative filmmaking.

Quinceañera was written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It centers on Magdalena, a teenager in East Los Angeles whose plans for her celebration are disrupted by an unexpected pregnancy.

The film also received the festival’s Audience Award: Dramatic. Those are separate awards, so the jury prize and audience prize should not be confused.
