Christene Browne

Christene A. Browne, a renowned filmmaker, hails from St. Kitts and later settled in Regent Park, Canada's oldest and largest low-income community, in 1970. Her passion for video-making led her to actively participate in the Regent Park Video Workshop Project, eventually becoming its leader. Browne's journey continued as she pursued her film education at Ryerson University. Notably, Browne made history by being the first African-Canadian woman to produce, direct and write a dramatic feature film, "Another Planet." In 2007, she accomplished the documentary series "Speaking in Tongues: The History of Language," which delves into the evolution of language from ancient times to the present. Browne's exceptional work earned her the Documentary Filmmaker prize at the Women's International Film and Television Showcase Visionary Awards in 2011. Currently, she resides in Toronto with her three children.
