    Dog of my Dreams

This contemporary Bestiary takes a subversive and tongue in cheek look at the relationships between girls and dogs.

A documentary, a love poem to the dog.
As told by a delicious medley of images, texts and voices from Piero di Cosimo to Joan Baez to Enid Blyton to Virginia Woolf to the girl next door.

In a series of luscious and surreal tableaux vivants based on paintings from the 16th to the 20th Century, these girls have distant encounters with their dogs whilst grown women tell their stories of childhood pets, family malaise and repressed sexual tensions.

A film about the anthropomorphic gaze, family dysfunction and childhood sexuality.

Produced and directed by Roz Mortimer




Resolutely personal and imaginative …
colour-rich, witty and suggestive.
Gareth Evans, Time Out


Roz Mortimer takes us on a fairy-tale journey into the latently perverted world of the love between small girls and dogs.
Anna Jacobsen, Feminale Film Festival, Cologne
