Which film festival gave the 2006 film Quinceañera its Audience Award?

The 2006 film Quinceañera received an Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival.

Written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, the film follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles whose planned quinceañera becomes complicated by family conflict and an unexpected pregnancy. The story places the celebration within a Mexican American community rather than treating it as a purely decorative party.

The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, a major American festival known for independent cinema. Its audience recognition helped draw attention to the film before its theatrical release and contributed to its reputation as an acclaimed independent drama.

The film is sometimes confused with the 1987 Mexican telenovela also titled Quinceañera. They are separate works: the film is an English-language independent production set in Los Angeles, while the telenovela is a Mexican television serial.
