Ponce Carnival | Where Plena and Culture Stay Alive

A cinematic tribute to the Ponce Carnival, one of Puerto Rico’s most enduring cultural celebrations, rooted in the city of Ponce.

This short film reflects more than 160 years of rhythm, tradition, and collective expression, brought to life through plena, vejigantes, and the colors that return to the streets year after year.

Grounded in disciplined visual storytelling, traditional music, and measured narration, the piece observes the cultural continuity that moves through Ponce with intention, respect, and restraint.
