Partner Event: “Julia VIVE” (“Julia LIVES”) – Documentary/Drama feature film from Puerto Rico

“Julia VIVE” (“Julia LIVES”- in English) is an award winning feature-length dramatic documentary selected for the 2026 Latino Film Market’s opening-night program in NYC. Our film harmonizes the narrative lyricism of fiction with the educational character of the documentary genre, in a joyous artistic convergence that honors the life, work & legacy of the iconic Puerto Rican poet & patriot JULIA DE BURGOS. Our film’s documentary thread is fueled by elements of Julia’s brief & intense life, validated by well-documented interviews with highly-regarded international academic & cultural experts on her legacy, supported by abundant photos & footage from Puerto Rico, Cuba & NY in the 1930s to 1950s. They are enriched by well-crafted drama scenes that portray Julia’s intense spirit, sensibility, passions and the splendor of her poetic work, featuring a talented cast, meticulous period styling & production values that proudly honor her legacy. We are very honored and grateful by the enthusiastic support of Julia de Burgos’ family to our film!
