Interview is a 1979 Canadian short live-action animated documentary film directed by Caroline Leaf and Veronika Soul, produced by David Verrall.[1] The film is a record of a working day in the lives of two women filmmakers, sometimes described as "an autobiographical collaboration",[4] though both filmmakers are discussing the other woman.[5] The film is also seen as a study of female friendship,[6] the women relating their perceptions of each other through their respective animation techniques, "each creating a visual portrait of the other based on characteristic gestures and impressions."[1]
