What is the title of the 2006 film also known as Quinceañera?

The 2006 film also known as Quinceañera is titled Echo Park, L.A.

Quinceañera was released under the alternate title Echo Park, L.A. The title points directly to the Los Angeles neighborhood where the story is set and helps distinguish the film from the many real-life celebrations that share the Spanish word quinceañera.

The film follows Magdalena, a teenager whose planned celebration becomes entangled with family conflict and the changing social landscape of Echo Park. Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland wrote and directed it, and the movie premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

The alternate title is easy to miss because Quinceañera is the title most often used in references and festival coverage. It is also not the name of a documentary or a television program. In this context, Echo Park, L.A. is simply the film’s alternate English-language title.
