Crossing Continents: Romania

"Oana Lungescu investigates Romania's healthcare system, which is teetering on the verge of collapse. He tries to discover how an EU member country has got into such a mess.

The Romanian healthcare system is in crisis. Earlier this year the university hospital in Bucharest announced it had just 4 euros left in the bank, and it's not alone in its financial woes. Even the Romanian health minister hasn't denied that his country's medical system is facing imminent collapse. National funds were due to run out in July.

Across the country doctors complain of a lack of X-ray film and surgical thread. Operations are postponed indefinitely. Patients are being asked to pay for their own bandages and hospital infections are spreading at alarming rates. Over the last year 4,700 doctors, fed up with wages of around 300 euros a month, have left the country to earn a better living in western Europe.

It's not just a problem for Romanians. As cash for drug treatments and preventive work such as needle exchanges runs out, there are fears that the country's already high rates of TB and HIV could get out of control, with the potential to spread beyond Romania's shores.

The wealthy are going to Hungary, Germany and Austria for treatment, paying up to 900 euros a day for a hospital bed. Inside Romania a black market is growing with doctors taking back-handers to prioritise those who can afford it. Those who can't have to put up with what state treatment they can find.

It's hard to see a solution. Government coffers are empty and the economy shrank by over 7% in 2009. And in May this year, to great protest, the government announced it would reduce public sector pay and pensions by 25%.

As Romania's healthcare system teeters on the edge of collapse, Oana Lungescu, the BBC European Affairs Correspondent, returns to her homeland to find out how ordinary citizens are coping.

Producer: Ben Crighton."

Pe Aripile Vinului (Dir. Corneliu Porumboiu, Romania, 2002)

The Yellow Smiley Face (Dir. Constantin Popescu / Romania / 2008)

Children Underground (2001, directed by Edet Belzberg)

I just saw this extremely disturbing documentary, which follows five children living in a subway station in Bucharest. As a Romanian, I am profoundly ashamed of the lack of interest shown by the authorities of my country regarding this issue.

Nicolae Ceausescu and the Nationalism

Hârtia va fi albastră (The Paper Will Be Blue), 2006

"The December 1989 fall of Communist Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu sets the stage for co-writer/director Radu Muntean's wry action drama following one perplexed militia's attempt to find out just who has assumed control of Bucharest once the despised tyrant has fallen. Romanian despot Ceausescu has been overthrown by a combination of military coup and civil insurrection, and now Lt. Neagu (Adi Carauleanu) has been assigned the task of maintaining the peace in a small Bucharest suburb. When Lt. Neagu and his heavily armored militia squad hear news that pro-Ceausescu forces are attempting to wrestle control of a national television station away from anti-Ceausescu counterparts, ambitious militiaman Costi (Paul Ipgate) suggests that the troupe leave to help fend off the "terrorists" who would see the feared dictator reinstated. After Costi slips away from the militia to help defend the television station, he is recruited to help defend a house full of protestors from terrorists. Inexplicably, Costi himself is accused of terrorism by the very people he was attempting to help and is forced to convince the protestors of his democratic beliefs. Realizing that Costi has deserted the militia and frightened that he will be held responsible for losing his soldier, Lt. Neagu and his squad discover that their mission is far from over after arriving as Costi's suburban home. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide" (http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/361881/Hartia-Va-Fi-Albastra/overview)

Cinemuzica la Radio Romania Muzical

"Filmul este cea mai tânără artă, dar în ciuda acestui fapt a ştiut încă de la bun început să lege o frumoasă prietenie cu artele surori. Aşa încât, de-a lungul istoriei cinematografului, acesta a găsit sursă de inspiraţie în teatru, balet, pictură, muzică.

Muzica a devenit în timp un partener „strategic” al filmului, iar premiile Oscar au introdus în lista lor şi pe cel pentru cea mai bună coloană sonoră.

Mari compozitori au creat pentru filme, melodii care au rămas nemuritoare, iar musicalul, gen cinematografic pe care America l-a creat, a devenit unul de succes.

Muzica a fost sursă de inspiraţie şi pentru scenarişti sau regizori; unii dintre ei au ajuns celebri pentru producţii care au ca subiect arta sonoră, mari compozitori sau interpreţi. Relaţia s-a dezvoltat şi mai mult iar literatura, muzica şi filmul s-au întâlnit în producţii celebre.

Iată de ce Radio România Muzical propune un format care să cuprindă toate acestea şi încă multe alte surprize (...)."
