Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a beloved Tejano music icon, is set to be celebrated in a new documentary titled “Selena y Los Dinos,” premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. The film, directed by Isabel Castro and executive produced by Selena’s siblings Suzette Quintanilla and AB Quintanilla III, will coincide with the 30th anniversary of her tragic death.
Never-before-seen footage from Selena’s family archive has been uncovered for the documentary, offering a rare glimpse into her life and rise to fame. The film promises to reveal the heart and sacrifice behind her success, as well as nostalgic home videos that transport viewers back to the 1990s.
The documentary is part of a celebration of Selena’s enduring legacy, which continues to inspire new generations of fans. With over 9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Selena remains one of the most popular artists in Latin music today.
A recent interview with longtime Univision journalist Raúl De Molina recalled how Selena’s fame grew after her death, saying “For people who have been watching Spanish-language TV for 20 years, there has been nobody bigger than Selena.” The new documentary promises to shine a light on the life and legacy of this beloved Tejano music icon.
