The Interrator (also known as the Interrator camera system) is a filmmaking tool designed to facilitate intimate and engaging interviews. It was invented by director Errol Morris, known for his work on documentaries like The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War.
The Interrator system is a specialized camera rig that allows interviewees to look directly at the camera lens while still engaging in a natural, eye-to-eye conversation with the interviewer. This setup helps create a sense of intimacy and connection, which is especially useful for documentaries or any setting where the emotional or psychological engagement of the subject is critical.
Here’s how it works: The interviewer and the interviewee are separated by a one-way mirror. The interviewee sits facing the mirror, which reflects the interviewer’s image, allowing the subject to look directly at the interviewer’s face during the conversation. At the same time, the camera behind the mirror captures the interviewee’s face, creating the illusion that they are looking directly into the lens. This technique gives the audience the impression of the subject speaking directly to them, which can create a more powerful and engaging experience.
The Interrator is notable for how it manages to bridge the gap between the artifice of the documentary form and the raw, emotional truth that the best interviews aim to capture. By allowing the subject to engage with a real person rather than a cold lens, it creates a more human, relatable, and direct form of communication—perfect for capturing honesty, vulnerability, and insight in a way that traditional interview setups may not.
Morris used the Interrator in several of his own documentaries, particularly to interview people in ways that feel more like confessions or revelations. The system has since influenced how interview-based documentaries and other forms of visual storytelling handle intimate subject matter.
In short, the Interrator represents a unique blend of technical innovation and psychological insight, allowing filmmakers to capture more emotionally charged, truthful moments while maintaining a connection between the subject and the audience.
