Blood is a documentary film by Alina Rudnitskaya. This vivid black and white film captures the daily routine of a Russian blood bank. Each day a small team packs a van full of supplies and heads out into the most remote corners of the countryside. Wherever the blood bank goes, the line of donors is always long. The cashier who hands out the 850 rubles ($26) for each donation stresses that the money is not considered payment, but for many this is an important source of income. The film is in Russian with English subtitles. The viewing will be followed by a Q&A session with Ms. Rudinskaya.
