FILM ABOUT THE WORLD’S LARGEST FLOWER PARADE
A documentary film, Corso Zundert, about the “world’s largest flower parade,” recently made its premiere. The film is about the people of Zundert — a village in the south of Holland — who create extravagant flower-covered floats for “the largest corso in the world.” This year’s corso was Sept. 3-4.
The short 20-minute film follows Texas artist Gil Bruvel as he discovers this unique community and what drives them to carry on this 80-year tradition of creating spectacular floral art. Each float is designed and built by residents from 20 neighborhood teams who volunteer their time every year.
