Heart of a Dog is artist Laurie Anderson’s unconditional love for her dog Lolabelle. This very personal film, celebrating the return of Anderson to cinema after a break of 29 years, is created by assembling different film techniques like animation, home videos and disrupted images. Narrating the story herself, from her partner Lou Reed’s music to America’s 9/11 paranoia- this heart-warming documentary was in competition for the Golden Lion, Venice Film Festival.

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
