Which film festival gave Quinceañera its 2006 Grand Jury Prize?

The Sundance Film Festival gave Quinceañera its 2006 Grand Jury Prize.

Quinceañera is an independent drama directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. Its story follows a Los Angeles teenager whose planned fifteenth-birthday celebration is disrupted by pregnancy and family rejection. The film uses that conflict to explore culture, religion, sexuality, and neighborhood change.

At Sundance in 2006, the movie won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the Dramatic Competition. Winning both honors gave the film attention beyond its cultural subject and helped establish it as a significant American independent production.

The festival is held annually in Park City, Utah, and is one of the best-known showcases for independent cinema in the United States. The title Quinceañera refers to the celebration at the heart of the plot.
