1 Filmmaker Interviews : Bob Connolly Ray Argall (interviewer), 2010 2010 single work interview
— Appears in: Filmmaker Interviews 2006-;

'Ray Argall met Bob at his home office in Glebe, Sydney, where he was digitising footage from his latest project, Mrs Carey’s Concert (2010). The stories of his years in New Guinea filming First Contact (1983), Joe Leahy’s Neighbours (1988) and Black Harvest (1992) are every bit as captivating as those he tells about filming Leichhardt Council for Rats in the Ranks (1996). Bob introduced us to the camera that has captured his most famous works, a 16mm Aaton, and shares the passion for music that shines through his work, from Franklin River Journey (1980) through to Facing the Music (2001) and Mrs Carey’s Concert (2010).'

1 Filmmaker Interviews : Sue Maslin Ray Argall (interviewer), 2009 2009 single work interview
— Appears in: Filmmaker Interviews 2006-;

'Ray Argall met with Sue at her office in Fitzroy, a hub for independent filmmakers in Melbourne. Sue has embraced the opportunities new media platforms offer and has extended her filmmaking into distribution, where she is taking her substantial back catalogue to a new audience. It’s a long way from getting bogged in outback Western Australia while making Japanese Story (2003). Sue’s career has taken her to some extraordinary places, from the Pilbara to The Highest Court, and brought untold Australian stories to light in Thanks Girls and Goodbye (1988) and Hunt Angels (2006).'

1 Filmmaker Interviews : David Caesar Ray Argall (interviewer), 2009 2009 single work interview
— Appears in: Filmmaker Interviews 2006-;

'Ray Argall interviewed David Caesar on 3 June 2009. David took Ray out to the western suburbs of Sydney, where he shot his early features Greenkeeping (1992) and Idiot Box (1996). They drove around looking for, but not finding, locations that are now buried by new development and freeways. David discusses the wide open uniformity that attracted him here in the first place and talks about car culture and growing up in an automobile-dependent society.'

1 Filmmaker Interviews : Sue Brooks Ray Argall (interviewer), 2009 2009 single work interview
— Appears in: Filmmaker Interviews 2006-;

'Ray Argall spoke to Sue at her office in Northcote, Melbourne, where screenplays line the walls in many drafts. She took him through her scrapbooks of location photos, showing how important landscape and location is in her films (such as Road to Nhill, 1997, and Japanese Story, 2003). For Sue, the journey from page to screen and capturing the essence of a story is what she loves – she calls it 'chasing angels’.'
