Description:
The Moss Arts Center presents a free screening of Laurie Anderson's "Heart of a Dog" on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at the Lyric Theatre.

Join us for a free screening of "Heart of a Dog", a 2015 documentary rated PG that centers on Anderson's remembrances of her late beloved piano-playing and finger-painting dog, Lolabelle. Winner of several awards, the film flows from a sustained meditation on death and absence, while weaving together thoughts on Tibetan Buddhism, reincarnation, surveillance, and the artistic lives of dogs.
