Director Statement

Spruce Up Europe #4 in Home Matasari, Bucharest, is the fourth chapter of a serie of short documentaries created by Marine Leduc, a French journalist and Ana Perfeito, a Portuguese filmmaker.

Each chapter tells the story of an abandoned or uninhabited house in Europe that has been rehabilitated by European youngsters to create their own projects.

These short documentaries aim at making people aware about this issue and to show that the space of old houses can be use for youth and social projects that integrate the community.

The production of this Doc was partnership between VLIPP (www.vlipp.fr) a film school from France, and Spruce Up Europe.
It was funded by: NCG (www.nantescreativegenerations.eu/en/). Two film students from France + Spruce Up Europe team, gathered in Bucharest for 10 days for the creation of the documentary.
