Carriage Trade

Carriage Trade is an evolving work by Nathaniel Dorsky that runs for 61 minutes. This film is noted for its preservation from the original camera negative and reflects Dorsky's challenge to the montage theories of early Soviet filmmakers, particularly Eisenstein. Dorsky described the film's editing as a "jig-saw puzzle of postcards," which creates varied displaced effects for the viewer.

The film encourages multi-faceted readings of the connections between its individual shots, offering a unique viewing experience. With its experimental approach, Carriage Trade stands as an intriguing piece from the 1970s, appealing to collectors interested in avant-garde cinema and film history. This work was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in collaboration with the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS in 1998, ensuring its availability for future audiences and collectors.
