Book of Days<\/em> (1988)
Conceived and Directed by Meredith Monk

CLICK HERE to watch Book of Days<\/em><\/a>

Book of Days<\/em> 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 conflict, the AIDS epidemic, and fear of nuclear annihilation. In light of the current pandemic, 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<\/em> previously aired on PBS, was shown at the New York Film Festival and was selected for the Whitney Biennial.

Quarry<\/em> (1975\/77)
DIRECTOR: AMRAM NOWAK & MEREDITH MONK

CLICK HERE to watch Quarry<\/em><\/a> (1975\/77)

Composer, singer, director\/choreographer Meredith Monk created Quarry: an opera in three movements<\/em> as a live stage work between 1975-\u201976 with her company, The House, as a mosaic of images, movement, dialogue, film, sound, light and music. A meditation on WWII and recurring cycles of intolerance, fascism, and cruelty in history, Quarry<\/em> centers on a sick American child (played by Monk) whose world darkens as her illness progresses. This film version, shot in the Lepercq Space at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1977, was directed by Amram Nowak and supervised by Monk, and includes her short silent film of the same name. Considered a masterwork of the 20th century, the piece is as prescient and relevant today as it was 40 years ago, with its portrayal of the deleterious effect of an autocratic society on the collective mind, body and spirit. It is at once a myth, a documentary and a memorial.
