How about Lane Slate's interview of Andy Warhol produced for National
Educational Television (precursors to PBS)? Warhol gives very cold,
mechanical answers behind a pair of broken sunglasses to an off screen
interrogator while the camera aggressively zooms in and out of him.
The interview is interrupted with clips from work going on at the
Factory. The short doc is on 16mm b/w film and called "USA Artists:
Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein." Lichtenstein's demeanor and answers
couldn't be more different than Warhol's.....

Also, someone mentioned Paul Chan's excellent video on Lynne Stewart,
and I wanted to point out that an "unlimited online video edition" is
available for free at the artist's website:
