Harkat is an independent film production house, an artist run analog film lab, a creative agency and an alternative performance space.
Harkat is an independent film production house geared towards making cinema that is meaningful, kind and emotionally generous. A boutique arts studio with passionate interests in title sequences, film marketing content & behind-the-scenes videography and photography; an alternative arts & performance space which is home to fringe artists; and an artist-run analog film lab making Indian experimental films. We are a collective of passionate storytellers from very diverse backgrounds, all bound together by the love of sustaining an arts space which in-turn supports our collective dreams.
We like to engage meaningfully for each project, on an equal level between briefs and artists, doers and dreamers. We are hands-on, no-frills, nice human being looking for the same in our clients. We balance our hunger and drive to do more, while also taking a contemplative mountain walk. Within our space we’ve hosted more than 800 shows in the mediums of independent film, music, theatre, movement, dance and more. To see our work as a performance space, go to the micro-site here.
