Ektara Collective is an independent, autonomous, non-funded group of people who seek to combine creative efforts and imagination and collaborate with trained and untrained people to make films that are content-wise and aesthetically located in our realities and experiences. Through this process Ektara has made two short fiction films (Chanda Ke Joote ~ Chanda’s shoes, 2011; Jaadui Machchi ~ Fishy Magic, 2013) and a full length feature film (Turup ~ Checkmate, 2017).
