Book of Days is a film about time, originally drawing parallels between the Middle Ages, a time of war, plague and fear of the Apocalypse, with modern times of racial and religious conflicts, the AIDS epidemic, and fear of nuclear annihilation. In light of current events, the cyclical nature of such phenomena has made itself known once more. While the film provides no answers, it nevertheless is a tribute to vision and the imagination, and a poetic incantation of that which connects us. Book of Days previously aired on the American broadcaster PBS, was shown at the New York Film Festival and was selected for the Whitney Biennial.
