Ebiras, like in other arts, are talented in movie making. Started as short dramas by the Ebira theatre groups including Amedari Theatre Group, Okene (ATGO), Omeduta Theatre Group, Okene (OTGO), The Ajozes and others, the effort has gone beyond local plays to modern film making. Championed by Atilla Videos, Ebira artistes excelled in the business of local entertainment characterised by high sense of humour. While many observed that most of the movies are comedy oriented, others feel that the stories tell more than just 'fun'. Today, Ebira movies, now mostly produced by Calabash Film Production, Okene, have become famous and highly patronised both in the state and nation-wide.

In its attempt to promoting Ebira culture and encouraging Ebira artistes to withstand the challenges of our time, EHI Cultural Promoter (ECP) organised EHI NITE on Saturday 27th May (Children day) 2006. The event was held at the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) club, Ikeja, Lagos. The turnout was remarkable as the event witnessed the presence of eminent Ebira personalities in Lagos and beyond. Guest artistes were: - Saka Ozi Okasime (Oseke) - Adebayo Ozi Itopa (Decker) It was an occassion that reminded one of the richness of Ebira culture which was admired in the past by Ebira neighbouring communities. With the success recorded from the event, Ebira is surely regaining its lost glory as its culture and traditions get honoured by both Anebira and the outside world.
