The film chronicles Selena’s life and legacy, including moments from her life on tour and home videos that have not been released from the musician’s family archives.

“Selena y Los Dinos” is executive produced by Selena’s siblings Suzette and AB Quintanilla III and directed by five-time Emmy nominee Isabel Castro.

On Saturday, Suzette Quintanilla said the team was excited to be at CineFestival, as “San Antonio is like our second home.”

Earlier this year, the film won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling at the Sundance Film Festival. The documentary was screened in January, 30 years after Selena’s death.

The film also premiered in March at South By Southwest in Austin.
