Docar is a documentary film collective that narrates urban controversies. It was created in 2023 as a platform to delve into political situations by exploring their intersections with architecture discipline.

The collective was funded by Jasper Meurer, a German-British political scientist specialized in immigration issues and social movements, and Rocio Calzado, a Spanish architect specializing in housing policy and ecological transition. After meeting at the Sciences Po research school, Jasper Meurer embarked on a career in visual research and documentary films, while Rocio Calzado collaborates with various urban design agencies in France and Spain, teaches at architecture schools, and is pursuing her PhD in urban planning at the École des Ponts et Chaussées on the topic of social housing transformation.

Together, they decided to combine their multidisciplinary experiences to offer their own perspective on urbanism, architecture, and politics. With the support of FAIRE, a project accelerator launched by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal with the support of the Municipality of Paris, Docar has committed to the production and creation of their first film "De porte à porte," which is currently in production. Since 2024 Docar is a local partner of HouseEurope!
