”When Giants Die” (2022) tells an intimate story of the artistic Vromman family. Three generations look back on parades, processions, traditional celebrations such as carnival and other manifestations in which Flemish and Belgian historical events are commemorated. Belgian film director Jan Vromman has a vivid memory of his uncle, Frans Vromman, a traditional procession builder from Bruges. In his documentary the director is clearly fascinated by processions and parades. There is criticism and attraction. Jan Vromman’s son, Cesar, is looking for more social and political community in contemporary forms of manifestations and demonstrations. He is reclaiming the street, ‘as mother of democracy’.
