“Isolated in Romania”, screened at the Farmer Museum Cinema

     The Farmer Museum is screening on Monday, 10 July 2017, from 19, at the Farmer Museum Cinema, episodes 9 and 12 of the series Isolated in Romania. Filmmaker Dite Dinesz and cameraman Marius Danci will be present at the talks. Admission will be free of charge.

     In Alba – episode 9, the makers reach the mountains above Cheile Râmeților, where forest replaces humans. The houses are far apart from each other and are inhabited only by old people. Only one person go over their threshold, with news good or bad: the postman of Râmeți, travelling on horseback and carrying his postal bag on his back.  
     In episode 12 – Maramureș, the team reaches the border with Ukraine, in hamlets that can be reached only by foot. Cornățea is the small village having a school, but no store and, instead of a road, only an 1-hour path. The school teacher walks this path every day alone and, even if she is scared, especially during fall and winter, she is convinced, like the other teachers before her, that nothing bad will happen to her. The children are studying here until the 4th grade, and afterwards they walk for an hour each day to the school in Cvasnița. Very few of them go to the high school in Poieni de sub Munte. This is why most of the young people leave to work abroad, and in Cornățea one can still meet mothers who stayed at home with the small ones and the elderly.
     Isolated in Romania is a project supported by the National Romanian Farmer Museum, in partnership with TVR.
