Selena Documentary Pulled From Sundance Online Platform Over Copyright Violations

The award-winning film showcasing Selena Quintanilla's life and legacy was removed after unauthorized clips surfaced on social media.

The documentary 'Selena y Los Dinos' was removed from Sundance's virtual platform after fans shared clips on TikTok and Instagram.
The film, directed by Isabel Castro, won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling earlier that same day.
Sundance organizers cited a commitment to protecting independent filmmakers' rights and announced cooperation with law enforcement on the matter.
The documentary features never-before-seen footage from Selena Quintanilla's family archive, chronicling her rise to Tejano music stardom.
This is the first time in Sundance's five years of offering online access that a film has been removed due to copyright concerns.
