One year ago today, on January 24, 2025, the documentary Selena y Los Dinos premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah. The film later received the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling, honoring its powerful and intimate use of rare footage.
What is "Selena Y Los Dinos" about?
Selena y Los Dinos is a music documentary that chronicles Selena Quintanilla’s rise to fame alongside her family band, Los Dinos, featuring rare archival footage, home videos, and personal family recordings.
The documentary first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, but during its online screening, people were uploading clips and live-streaming the film illegally, which led to it being taken down from the festival platform. Despite this setback, excitement for the documentary didn’t fade. A few months later, the documentary returned to screens with its official release on Netflix in November, allowing audiences worldwide to finally experience Selena’s story as it was meant to be seen.
