The interview is with Robert Porfirio and it was made in 1975; it focuses on three of Billy Wilders' films: "Double Indemnity", "Ace In The Hole", and "Sunset Boulevard". It's a remarkable treasure!

Film Techniques - By High School Students
It looks like their teacher set Curtis Brownjohn (the director) and fellow Australian high school students the task of putting various techniques of film-making under helpful headings. It's a good short (nine minute) "movie" and well worth looking at for learning about camera shots/angles/movement/focus, including depth of field, framing, lighting, sound, experimental shots, editing and so much more! It's good to see work like this from Yr12 students!
