I was captivated by the charming video Nine Letters, which was written and directed by the Brazilian-Swiss filmmaker Cristina Müller. The poignant short film is built around a series of letters and cards ranging from the 1930s to the present day, each of them written by someone who, like Müller, is somewhere other than home. The letters are narrated in the writers’ original language, while  the  accompanying visuals offer meditative views of New York City passing through the seasons.
