'Annie, wake up' is a non-narrative, assemblage film that uses the device of a fictional protagonist, Annie, to reflect on feelings of home, both comforting and oppressive. The ten chapters explore meanings both domestic and communal. Home is a domicile, a community, a geography, and an ideology. The film collages heterogeneous media sources like 8mm home movies, stop motion, direct animation, and archival sound to construct layers of feeling within the frame and throughout the soundtrack. 'Annie, wake up' creates a reflective space that is sometimes brooding, sometimes miraculous, perhaps both.

Merging fiction and documentary, Sinkholes is a dystopian vision of a future world in which humanity survives in an environment in which water has become scarce and the sea is slowly receding behind dunes of salt. It tells the story of the inhabitants of a desolate coastline, trapped between a desertified interior and an unnamed coast. Following, the first-person voiceover of its protagonist Lawrence, the story unfolds through a sequence of striking documentary scenes, shot in inland and coastal Israel and Palestine. While the landscapes and sites Russo has gathered are real – places of rusting industry, of abandoned habitation and the bizarre, almost extraterrestrial salt formations of the Dead Sea – the narration transforms these into the ruins of an entire society, doomed to a world in which it has ceased to rain.
