Dear Adam:
I've worked a lot with interviews/talking heads. I've always been
fascinated with the alleged directness of this form.
For my most irreverent/television implicated, I'd look at
Meet the People
http://www.shellysilver.com/view.php?id=video&id2=mtp
as well as
The Houses That Are Left
where the fictional characters do actual market research interviews
which are then woven into the fabric of the piece:

I've also been drawn to street interviews, especially to capture a
feel of a certain moment and place. I shot 180 hours of street
interviews for Former East/Former West
http://www.shellysilver.com/view.php?id=video&id2=east
to capture a sense of Berlin and what it meant to be German after Reunification
My current (about to be titled project) very American project also
gets back to this 'obsession' (more on this coming soon)
best,
Shelly
