Nupur Chitalia is a multidisciplinary Indian-Canadian filmmaker and storyteller based in Toronto. Nupur’s films have been screened in festivals around the world weaving narratives of transformation, belonging, becoming, origins, and more. While she’s a Director at heart and soul she has worn numerous hats in her longer than a decade career, from directing, producing, cinematography, editing, and animation. Her journey has been one of mastering the art of storytelling through a deeply holistic lens.

In 2025, Nupur embarks on her most personal project yet – Jaatra – a
one-year global expedition to elevate her well-being: physically, mentally, creatively, and spiritually. Through immersion in diverse cultures, art forms, and ways of life, she seeks to evolve, document, and share the myriad paths to self-transformation. At the heart of this journey is her quest to deepen her connection with her own identity and her culture by engaging with and experiencing as many cultures around the world as possible.

Nupur is searching for kindred spirits—artists, dreamers, changemakers—to cross her path during this journey. Whether through co-creations, deep conversations, or simply a cup of coffee. She believes in the magic of connection, where even the smallest spark can ignite a beautiful fire, illuminating uncharted paths beneath a vast, star-studded sky.
