Heart of a Dog is a personal essay, an autobiographical film and a musical meditation by the American experimental performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson (known for her single O Superman) about love and death. Laurie Anderson's calm voice-over can be heard by a stream of associative images, animations and 8mm films from her childhood. The filmmaker tells the story of her beloved dog Lolabelle who has passed away, addressing the death of her mother and also her husband Lou Reed. In the film, which is supported by a soundtrack written by her, she shares her childhood fantasies and deals with political and philosophical theories. The film premiered at the 2015 Venice International Film Festival and won the Lina Mangiacapre Award.
