About

A documentary by Jan Vromman in which three generations reflect on street festivities and protests, and on giants in Flemish folklore.

When Giants Die is a Belgian documentary by Jan Vromman, with Koen De Graeve and François Beukelaers. Through his family history, Vromman examines the place of giants in Flemish folklore and street life around festivities and demonstrations. Three generations appear. A grandfather returns as a ghost and represents processions commissioned by cities and municipalities. His son links parades to processions, historical parades, traditional celebrations and carnival. A grandson looks for contemporary forms and points to protests and manifestations. Reclaiming the street, forming a community and expressing ideas together outside are also mentioned.
