The project :

Production of a short video documentary by filmmakers from Nantes (Dipp) and Portugal (Spruce Up) on the rehabilitation / conversion of an old house into a cultural center by young people in Bucharest (Home Matasari)

A Polish artist who took part in The CAN project was also present to inspire the project and replicate it to Krakow in Poland. The documentary followed her in the discovery of how to turn an abandoned place into a cultural project. Filming took place during the festival organized by this cultural center in June 2016 : Femei pe Matasari

Afterwards, the documentary was disseminated in Nantes and Europe.

The project :

Through an audio installation, Nantes Sounds invites you to meet the inhabitants of Nantes. Discover their true stories. As unusual as they may sound. NANTES SOUND draws up the portrait of these inhabitants by listening to their story/ies. The team helps them to refine their words, so that they can record and/or bring it on stage.
The project can take several forms:
- As content: recording made up from testimonies. These testimonials can be used on in its purest form during exhibitions. (approx. 45 min of recording. Loop broadcasting is possible.);
- As an installation : in partnership with other projects (variable duration);
- an event-driven forum: during which the locals share their stories in a live situation (duration approx. 1h)

Based on the Use-it map of Nantes project, and thanks to the experience and methods developed by the participants of Belgrade and Ghent.
