Built from the audio tracks of dubbed vampire films and footage from home movies, Les immortelles is a video collage in four chapters that places mother-daughter relationships at the heart of a tale on immortality. As they come together and grow apart, the floating, recombined bodies seek to coexist between life and death. Featuring members of my family, this film explores the traces of the memories that we carry within us, and that, ghost-like, prolong our lives outside of ourselves.
Becoming a mother brings many changes: the relationship to your body, to time and material things, to the sense of identity and heritage. Dancer, choreographer and artist Julienne Doko invites us to reflect on the body’s ability to change through the different cultural perceptions of motherhood in a performative work that celebrates the body that bears signs of having created life. In English, the term ‘stretch mark’ shows a negative assessment of body changes. In Doko’s native language, Gbaya from the Central African Republic, the marks are called ‘ancestral tattoo’, a word charged with pride in the continuation and transmission of life.

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.
