Making Very Large Sheets of Paper in China

In 2007, Elaine and Sidney Koretsky traveled to Anhui Province, China, and quite serendipitously stumbled upon a workshop making very large sheets of paper, measuring nearly 10 feet by 23 feet. The feat of making such a large sheet of paper is vividly depicted in the film and is enhanced by a sequence of slow motion videography. The fibers, cooking, beating, sheet formation, pressing, and drying are all meticulously described. The large sheet observed was xuanzhi, the finest paper made in China for hundreds of years and used for fine calligraphy and ink brush painting, displayed in large public spaces.

Astonishing

One particular master maker is making even larger sheets; I forget the size, though. His operation was profiled on CGTN.

it seems like they are amused that they are being filmed as if what they're doing isn't abolutely amazing

Note how the worker brushing the lower part of the paper places precisely the predominant pressurepoint distributed upon the paper

This was excellent thank you for the investment of time and energy to see it through.
Do you know where if they permit this paper for export to the US?
If they do not, do you know where I might find the largest cold press watercolor sheet paper which could be purchased in bulk and exported to the US?

This could be Elaine's latest video that I have never seen this.
