Summary:

This documentary takes a look at our contradictory relationship to the meanings and metaphors of blood. While the time of blood marks the reality of war and medicine, entertainment and vampires, it is contrasted with the life-affirming "signature" of the seasons of a woman's life. BLOODTIME explores this contradiction and questions our 'out of balance' relationship to both the wounding and healing meanings and metaphors of blood. Bringing "the feminine" out of the shadows might be the response to the needed wholeness. Interweaving commentary from Judith Greer Essex, Director of the San Diego Expressive Arts Institute and Mark Weaver, former VA clinical psychologist, deliver the essential message of this segment which also includes on camera reflections of women of diverse backgrounds.
