Selena (film screening & dance party!)

Celebrate the life of one of our country’s greatest musical stars with a screening of the 1997 biopic, and a pre-show dance party (courtesy of Mas Exitos, the DJ collective tracing hip-shaking connections between music from both Americas.) Plus, before the film it’s a Selena costume contest -- so bust out the ruffles, studs, crop-tops and jumpsuits! DOORS/DJ set by Mas Exitos - 7pm FILM - approx. 8pm FOR INFO ON DISCOUNT TIX, SIGN UP FOR ALAMO'S "VICTORY" EMAIL LIST: https://drafthouse.com/la/victory She was the "Queen of Tejano Music”, the "Madonna of Mexico" -- but to us she was simply Selena, and she was the bridge. The bridge between Spanish and English-language cultures, between rich and poor, between gay and straight, between the Latin charts and American pop. Her tragic passing at age 23 cemented her legacy for years to come, and this film starring a brilliant young Jennifer Lopez captures every facet of her meteoric rise. Inbetween the musical numbers (feel free to sing along!), the film’s message of courage and unity still rings true today.
