Join us for a pre-show mixer with Chulita Vinyl Club and a post-screening discussion with Charles Ramírez Berg, author and Professor in Media Studies at UT Austin, and Mary Beltrán, author and Associate Professor in Media Studies at UT Austin.
Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos star in this celebration of Selena Quintanilla Perez, a girl from South Texas with global talent, incredible will, and magnetic charm. Young. Beautiful. Enormously gifted. At 23, Selena shone as a fresh star in a vibrantly new musical field. But just as she was poised to be the next pop-music sensation, her life was tragically cut short. One of the most successful musical biopics of all time, the film went on to earn a Golden Globe nomination for Lopez, four ALMA awards, and a Grammy award for its unforgettable soundtrack.
In 2021, SELENA was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
