Which 2006 Sundance award did Quinceañera win in addition to the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize?

Quinceañera also won the Dramatic Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

The film won two major honors in Sundance’s Dramatic competition: the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award. The audience prize is significant because it reflects the response of festival viewers rather than only the deliberations of a professional jury. Receiving both awards indicated that the film connected with audiences as well as judges.

Quinceañera was directed and co-written by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. It stars Emily Rios as Magdalena, an Echo Park teenager whose pregnancy disrupts plans for her fifteenth-birthday celebration. The story explores family relationships, religious expectations, and the effects of gentrification on a Los Angeles community.

The title is sometimes treated as if it describes a documentary about the ceremony, but the movie is a scripted independent drama. It uses the event as the organizing crisis of a family story. After its Sundance premiere, the film received theatrical distribution in 2006 and became known for its sympathetic portrayal of Mexican American characters.
