Experiencing Interruptions?

The First Flight

“The First Flight” is a short documentary about the art of falconry. The narrative follows the bird’s training process from the first encounter with the falconer to the first free flight, and all the emotions this relationship involves. Due to the director’s interest in the “culture or torture” controversial dilemma, the film aims to question the meaning of the existence of falconry in modern times. Is falconry an old practice that should be preserved, or is it just an unnecessary wealthy class entertainment?
