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

Clairvoyant Lily - help in love and return of a loved one
I would like to express my deep gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia for her professional approach and help in restoring my family relationship. After a long period of estrangement with my husband, thanks to her work and recommendations, we were able to find common ground and restore harmony to our family. Our sincere gratitude for your work and support! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
Lilya is a miracle. My husband has grown cold, withdrawn, and become a stranger. He hasn't physically left, but there's a wall between us. I tried talking, begging, pleading—all to no avail. Lilya said there was an energy drain and outside interference. After the cleansing and working on us as a couple, for the first time in six months, I saw him look at me differently. He started caring and being interested in me like before. He recently said, "I don't know what came over me, but it's like I've woken up." This is all your fault, Lilya. I bow to you.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Lilia for her help and compassion. At a time when my strength was waning and I had almost come to terms with the fact that my loved one was gone forever, it was Lilia who helped me believe that things could still change. With her support and guidance, I was able not only to bring my loved one back, but also to rethink my attitude toward myself and our relationship. Thanks to her, we are back together—and now we have a different, more conscious and mature relationship. Lilia, thank you for the sincerity, warmth, and strength you give to people. You don't just help "get people back," you restore their hearts. This is priceless. When life is hard and you don't know how to find a way out, you turn to people with supernatural powers for help! I FOUND SUCH A WITCH!!!! She's VERY POWERFUL AND KNOWS HER WORK!!! I honestly doubted it before calling, but then she started talking to me about my first husband, about my accident too. In general, she said powerful things. But most importantly, she WAS ABLE TO GET MY HUSBAND BACK AND DRIVE AWAY A RIVAL!!!!! EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE HERE and I recommend it to anyone who really needs help!!! Write her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433

I felt like my heart simply stopped beating from the pain when our relationship collapsed. I lay awake at night, replaying every mistake in my head and not believing I'd ever be able to smile again. That's when I turned to Lilia—and it became my salvation. She carefully gathered my shreds of hope and helped me believe that love can be rekindled with heart and warmth. Step by step, with her support, I found the strength to ask for forgiveness, understand him, and give us a chance. Today, we are close, and I will forever keep in my heart the gratitude to Lilia for pulling me out of the abyss of despair and giving me the chance for a new life next to my beloved.
