Twinless and Selena y Los Dinos Pulled from Sundance Online Screenings
Clips from both films were circulating online illegally.
In the documentary on Selena Quintanilla’s music career and family life, the clips of unreleased songs featured in the film were circulating online, causing Sundance to take action. Sundance explained the decision in a statement shared with the Los Angeles Times, writing: “The Sundance Film Festival and the creative team of Selena y Los Dinos are sorry to inform our viewers that the film has suffered a series of copyright infringements and must therefore be removed from the Sundance Film Festival online platform… We acknowledge and regret that this may cause disappointment, however part of our commitment to advocating for independent filmmakers is ensuring that they can protect their art that they have created and earn a living — now and in the future. We take copyright infringement extremely seriously and intend to fully cooperate with local, state, and federal law enforcement.”
