The University of Canterbury are delighted to welcome Jonathan Ogilvie ‘home’ to Ōtautahi Christchurch, as the university hosts the writer/director’s ‘Head South’ as its first film in residence.
Set in 1970’s Christchurch, ‘Head South’ is a semi-autobiographical music drama featuring Australian actor Ed Oxenbould, Kiwi singer Benee and iconic character actor [and former UC student], Marton Csokas.
Supporting ‘Head South’ is a fantastic demonstration of the commitment from UC’s Digital Screen Campus programme to further bridge the gap between industry and academia, and is a uniquely valuable experience ahead of welcoming our first cohort of Bachelor of Digital Screen (Hons) students in 2023.
