At which film festival did the 2006 movie Quinceañera win its two top audience and jury prizes?

The story behind the answer

The 2006 movie Quinceañera won its two major prizes at the Sundance Film Festival.

The film received both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at the 2006 festival. Sundance is an important U.S. showcase for independent cinema and is held in Utah.

Quinceañera portrays a Mexican American family and the pressures surrounding a planned fifteenth-birthday celebration. Its festival success drew attention to the film’s depiction of Latino community life and to its young ensemble cast.

Sundance should not be confused with Cannes, Toronto, or Tribeca, which are also prominent international film festivals. The film’s awards belong to Sundance’s U.S. Dramatic competition, not to a general award given by all of those festivals.
