«Modern Russian cinema combines depth, emotion, and humanity. We are pleased to share with our Venezuelan friends stories that reflect traditional values and strengthen cultural ties between our countries. It is especially pleasing that most of the festival’s films can be watched with the whole family. After all, the family, both in Russia and Venezuela, is the heart of society, which we cherish and value».

The participation of Gruppa krovi (Blood Type) in the festival is a continuation of the film’s broad international presentation.

The film participated in the program of the international action «Night of Cinema», with screenings held at Russian film festivals in Bahrain and Uzbekistan. In October, Blood Type was included in the competition program of feature films at the 19th International Trans-Saharan Film Festival in Morocco.
Gazprom-Media Holding pays great attention to creating content that preserves and strengthens cultural and historical heritage, as well as promoting Russian culture as a powerful brand deserving of global recognition.
