Title: Children interrupt the interview

Description: Mathias interviews Fidelia, about how to get to places, what Vane used to be like and how she thinks things will be in the future. Rebecca asked Mathias to find some elderly Avatime people who didn't speak English that would be happy to be interviewed. He found three such people. Rebecca and Mathias sat down and discussed the questions to be asked, the main goals of these interviews were to get directions, past and future changes stories and to run the time in space experiment with people who didn't speak English. Fidelia was the first elderly person he interviewed. This file is an excerpt from that interview with the directions segment, the discussion of how Vane has changed in the past and may change in the future, and a discussion of her children and grandchildren and when they were born. The time in space experiment section is in the full file. The interview is conducted in Avatime, occasionally Rebecca and Mathias use some English. Also Fidelia's daughter often tells her children to be quiet in English. Mathias conducts the interview, Fidelia answers most questions but her daughter also often contributes and gives most of the answer to the question how Vane has changed. Rebecca mainly listens but also at times suggested which question should be asked next. There are some children behind the camera, the participants often tell them to be quite and interestingly they sometimes use English saying "Be quiet" and "Stop talking".
