New Memories

An intimate portrait of Anne J. Gibson, a marginalized woman in her sixties living in Toronto, Canada who makes a living by walking dogs. Her discovery of street photography has allowed her to overcome a legacy of addiction and trauma and see the world through a new lens. As Anne says, “first and foremost, taking pictures is an act of mental health.” The other character in the film is Kensington Market, a bohemian neighbourhood in Toronto. Through her photos, Anne wants to preserve the market’s anarchy before gentrification takes over, and to give thanks to the people who have helped bring her back into the world.
