an intimate short documentary called 'kite flight', filmed in rochina, can be seen here - it catpures the beautiful community and connection the sport provides for individuals involved. in some communities reckless kite flyers can be seen jumping from rooftop to rooftop, guiding their kites through battles in the sky.

Kite fliers craft their own apparatuses using strings, paper, plastic bags and rods to form the kite itself - It is a creative and skilled enterprise as well as a democratic form of craftsmanship.

In the past glass and wax were used to sharpen the kite strings, but in 2012, the use of wax was prohibited by the government as it made the wires sharp and dangerous and often lead to interruptions in electricity supply.
