OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Emmy Award winning James Bobin (BNC 1990) and John Bowers KC in Conversation at Brasenose College
This year’s Frankland Visitor to Brasenose, James Bobin, has combined his talents as a writer, director, and producer to create and shape some memorable and ground breaking projects in recent decades. Come and listen to him reflect on his career and have the opportunity to grill him about the film and television world.
He is currently directing the third season of PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS for Disney+. He was nominated for a DGA award and has won two Children’s & Family Emmys for his work as director on the pilot and second episode of the series’ first season.
Previously, James served as director and executive producer on THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY for Disney+ for which he also won a Children’s & Family Emmy.
He is well-known for resurrecting the Muppets franchise, directing THE MUPPETS starring Amy Adams and Jason Segel, which was an international sensation that won an Oscar for Best Original Song and spurred a sequel, MUPPETS MOST WANTED, which he also directed. James’ ability to navigate different genres is further exemplified in his direction with Johnny Depp, Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter in ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS for Joe Roth and Disney. The combined worldwide box office of his work is almost a billion dollars.
