Fingiendo ser punk

Fingiendo ser punk (2024)

Head South

Irónica, empática y conmovedora, esta tragicomedia sobre el paso a la edad adulta se ambienta en la Nueva Zelanda de 1979, durante la efímera pero significativa escena pospunk. La historia, semiautobiográfica del director y guionista Jonathan Ogilvie, sigue a Angus, un estudiante de secundaria en Christchurch cuyo mundo cambia rápidamente: su madre se ha ido de casa y ha descubierto la música pospunk 'underground'. Estrenada en el Festival de Róterdam de 2024, la película está protagonizada por Ed Oxenbould, Stella Bennett (la cantante y compositora neozelandesa Benee) y Marton Csokas. Rodada en Christchurch, la ciudad natal del director y del sello musical independiente Flying Nun, esta cinta captura la esencia de una época y una cultura a través de la mirada de un joven en transformación.

Curiosidades

Head South is a 2024 New Zealand coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Jonathan Ogilvie. The plot follows a teenager Angus in late 1970s New Zealand with a dream of becoming a musician with his band, "The Daleks". Head South was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 25 January 2024 and released in New Zealand on 31 October 2024 to positive reviews. The movie was presented by the New Zealand Film Commission in association with HEAD SOUTH COHORT AND BLACK FRAME.

Production

The film is written and directed by Jonathan Oglivie and produced by Mat Govoni and Antje Kulpe. Cinematography was by John Chrisstoffels and production design by Christopher Bruce, with editing by Julie-Anne De Ruvo and contains original music from Shayne Carter.

One challenge that production faced was to recreate Christchurch pre the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. However their first recce reassured Ogilvie that despite the massive destruction and subsequent re-build, they would be able to find locations, houses and buildings that would bring 1979 back to life. It was crucial for Ogilvie that the film’s design had the authenticity and energy that he remembered from the era.

production designer Christopher Bruce ensured that these sets were dressed as down-at-

the-heel venues available for very cheap hire.

Filmmaker Jonathan Oglivie based the script on his own experiences growing up in Christchurch in the 1970s and 1980s. The cast is led by Ed Oxenbould, Márton Csókás, and Roxie Mohebbie, as well as New Zealand musician Benee in her feature film debut. Principal photography took place in Christchurch in late 2022.
