Description:
This special edition of From the Archives is curated by series founder, esteemed Faculty Emeritus, Carl Bogner, and features a rare 16mm print of Warren Sonbert’s Carriage Trade. In Carriage Trade, Sonbert interweaves footage taken from his journeys throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States, together with shots he removed from the camera originals of a number of his earlier films. Carriage Trade was an evolving work-in-progress, and this 61-minute version is the definitive form in which Sonbert realized it, preserved intact from the camera original. “A jig-saw puzzle of postcards to produce varied displaced effects.” -WS “One of the most breathtaking travelogues ever made, incorporating footage from journeys through Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States, this dazzling masterpiece allows viewers to make multifaceted connections between each of the individual shots, creating a liberating generosity of spirit”. -Wexner Center
