Director Jonathan Ogilvie discusses his nostalgic coming-of-age film Head South, where it's the late 1970's and teenager Angus is discovering the underground post-punk music scene in Christchurch.

From the archives, David Nichols, historian and lecturer in Urban Planning at the University of Melbourne, on Richard Lowenstein's 1986 film Dogs in Space, a story takes place during the late 70s to the early 80s in the underground music scene in Melbourne and the action that happens in and around a share household in the inner city.

In The Cats of Gokugo Shrine, renowned Japanese documentarian Kazuhiro Soda takes us to the coastal town of Ushimado and a shrine where cats have taken up residence.
