Heart of a Dog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ClaELWDqHU

Centering on celebrated musician, performance artist, and writer Anderson’s beloved rat terrier Lolabelle, who died in 2011, Heart of a Dog is a powerful personal essay of love, loss, and inspiration. The film weaves together childhood memories; video diaries; philosophical musings on data collection, surveillance culture, the Buddhist conception of the afterlife; and heartfelt tributes to the artists who inspire her. Fusing her own witty, inquisitive narration with original violin compositions, hand-drawn animation, 8 mm home movies, and artwork culled from exhibitions past and present, Anderson creates a hypnotic, collagelike visual language out of the raw materials of her life and art, examining how stories are constructed and told—and how we use them to make sense of our lives.
