The SR Socially Relevant Film Festival took place in New York. The mission of the film festival is to highlight filmmakers who tell compelling, socially relevant, human interest stories on a wide range of social issues, without resorting to violence or violent forms of storytelling. The award ceremony took place at the National Arts Club (chaired by Nina Urban). In the presence of more than 140 people, including club members, directors, jury members and friends, the winners were announced, the 20 winners were awarded and trophies were presented in the form of a silk scarf donated by Lost Pattern. SRFF's 2024 selection "Maya," directed by Julia Verdin, won the Vanya Ekserjian Award for Empowering Women and Girls, an award presented by festival founder Nora Armani in memory of her cousin, who was the victim of a hate crime against a woman. The main prize in the “Narrative Feature Film” category went to the film “Valley of Exiles” directed by Anna Far, and a special jury prize was given to 2 films: “I Am Gitmo” by Philip Diaz and “From Life to Life” by Beka Sikharulidze. The films “ORA” by Michel Garcia and “Blockade” by Hakob Melkonyan were presented in the “Best Documentary Feature Film” category, and the special jury prize in the documentary feature category went to the film “DEPO: Reflection of Boijmans” by Sonya Herman Doltz. Awards were presented in the categories of Narrative Short, Documentary Short, Best Actor, Best Actress, Women Film Critics Circle Award, IndiePix Unlimited Vision Award, Best Screenplay, etc. d. “We are proud that over the past 11 years we have had the opportunity to present more than 700 socially relevant films from 40 countries. This year’s selection includes 53 incredible films from around the world.” SRFF was founded by actress and filmmaker Nora Armani in 2013 in response to the proliferation of violence and violent forms of storytelling in media and entertainment. After a family tragedy that cost the lives of two of her dearest and closest people—cousin Vanya and uncle Jack Exerjian—Armani founded the festival to meaningfully honor their memory. SRFF believes in the power of cinema to raise awareness of social issues and promote positive social change. Topics such as climate change, family and adoption, LGBTQ rights, home and health, disability, incarceration and freedom, New York City, racism and culture are of interest. Marina Lagunova

At the time, I didn't notice the moment my life began to crumble. It was as if I was caught in quicksand and didn't realize it. My business was barely afloat, my relationship with my husband was strained to the breaking point, and constant apathy was draining me of all my energy. But I distinctly remember the moment I was sitting in the dentist's chair and, without expecting it, I began pouring out my heart to him. It was then that he remarked that it was as if someone had jinxed me or cursed me, given how bad things had gotten. He mentioned the magician Alexander, who had once helped him bring his wife back to their family when all hope had been lost. We're all skeptics sometimes, but I wasn't in the mood for anything good, so I asked for his contact information. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a consultation. Alexander struck me as a gifted and considerate man. He sees fate as if through an X-ray. He immediately sensed the invisible weight that was enveloping me. Moreover, he described in detail events from my life that no one could have known about. I won't go into the details of all the magical practices, but I can say that the cleansing process was very personal and profound. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness gradually lift. Years of rust began to peel away from my life. My business suddenly began to revive, and clients literally poured in. My relationship with my husband began to improve; we regained the understanding and warmth that seemed long lost. And most importantly, my energy, joy in life, and desire to act and create returned. The magician Alexander didn't just rid me of negative influences; he helped me rediscover myself, my inner light. I am infinitely grateful to him for the help he provided. In conclusion, if you feel like your life has reached a dead end, that something invisible is weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward, I can confidently recommend contacting Alexander. He is capable of true miracles, helping restore harmony in various areas of your life. Alexander's number +380971792179
I was sitting on the train, tears streaming down my cheeks, my heart breaking. My boyfriend, the love of my life, had left. Not just left, but for his ex! I knew, I felt, that something was wrong. He couldn't have gone crazy so suddenly. And then a fellow passenger, an elderly, wise woman, carefully asked what had happened. I told her everything, and after listening, she quietly said it looked like a love spell. She recommended a powerful clairvoyant magician. According to her, he had helped more than one of her friends in even more difficult situations. I thought about it, but wrote down the phone number. Desperation pushed me to take this step. Using the phone number, I found many good reviews about Zakhar online. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a meeting. He was completely different from what I had imagined – calm, insightful, incredibly wise. I was shocked that I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar is such a powerful clairvoyant that he was able to tell me everything himself. My worst fears about a powerful love spell were only confirmed. Zakhar agreed to take the job. Within days, my boyfriend made contact, and his behavior began to change. He started calling, seeking meetings, and his gaze returned to its former, warm and loving expression. And then the incredible happened! My beloved came to me with a ring and proposed. I cried with happiness! Now we are married and live in mutual understanding. I am grateful to fate for that travel companion and, of course, for the magician Zakhar, who restored our happiness. He didn't just give me back my boyfriend; he gave me back my life! Zakhar's number is +380954248510

TO BE HONEST, I COULDN'T SAY AT FIRST - A bunch of charlatans, swindlers, so-called "fortune tellers". But then, right here, I came across one girl who wrote a thank you to the fortune teller... I also decided and called. Her name is Lilia... She is from another city. She said that she receives remotely. In general, from my photo, she spoke about my past. She said that the man left me. And so it was. We loved each other, but he took no reason and left for another. Lilia was able to bring him back to me in a short time. She helped me with illness...I RECOMMEND LILICHKA TO EVERYONE HERE!!! I am writing her contacts WhatsApp +380 93 266 5520, USA +19297133433
