Join us for a free screening of Heart of a Dog, a 2015 documentary 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. The Montgomery County Friends of Animal Care and Control will be on site with information on their services, programs, and adoptable animals.
