Dubbed as "a film for the ears", Book of Days (1984), which has been shown in the New York Film Festival and was subsequently aired on PBS, is a 74-minute film created and directed by Meredith Monk. The film draws parallels between the Middle Ages and the present day by presenting the visions of a 14th century Jewish girl who sees airplanes, cars, New York streets, and possibly everything in between.
