The Moss Arts Center will present a free screening of Anderson’s award-winning 2015 documentary, “Heart of a Dog,” on Saturday, May 5, at 3 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre in downtown Blacksburg.
The film centers on the artist’s remembrances of her late beloved piano-playing and finger-painting dog, Lolabelle, and 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. Admission to the film is free and donations to the Montgomery County Friends of Animal Care and Control are encouraged. A list of current needs is available online.
Parking is available in the North End Parking Garage on Turner Street. Virginia Tech faculty and staff possessing a valid Virginia Tech parking permit can enter and exit the garage free of charge. Limited street parking is also available. Parking on Alumni Mall is free on weekdays after 5 p.m. and on weekends.
