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.
