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

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the clairvoyant Matrona!
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the clairvoyant Matrona! After many months of suffering and tears, I turned to her for help. My husband left our family, our relationship was destroyed, and I had almost lost hope of getting it all back. Matrona immediately sensed my pain and accurately described the situation without knowing any details. After her ritual and recommendations, the air in our home became easier, the tension disappeared, and warm conversations began. A couple of weeks later, my husband contacted me himself, began visiting, and then returned home altogether. Now we have peace, mutual understanding, and love again. Matrona is a truly strong and kind woman who helps not only with words but also with deeds. She restored my faith in myself and our family. I recommend that anyone who finds themselves in a difficult situation don't lose hope, contact Matrona. She really helps! Her number is +380630228999, Viber/WhatsApp.
Lily gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe.
I walked to Lilia with trembling hands, afraid to believe that anything could change. But she looked at me as if she saw all my pain at once. The rituals she performed seemed to lift a heavy layer of despair from me. And suddenly, my husband appeared at the door. He stood there, silent, and then said, “I feel bad without you. I tried to forget, but it didn’t work.” I can’t forget that moment. Lilia gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.

I came to Daria simply out of curiosity. There was no particular problem, but I wanted to understand: what awaits me, where everything is going. She immediately laid out the cards and said things that seemed strange at the time. For example, that within a month a person from the past would return to my life and that I would be offered cooperation that would open a new path. I brushed it off then - I did not communicate with anyone from the past, and there were no offers. But exactly two weeks later, a former classmate with whom I had not spoken for more than 10 years wrote to me and invited me to work with her on a project. Everything coincided down to the smallest detail. It was this offer that became a starting point for me - I changed my field, began to do what I had been putting off for a long time, and felt alive. Daria does not just look at the cards - she helps you understand yourself and your paths. She speaks calmly, with respect, without intimidation. After a session with her, my soul felt lighter, a feeling of confidence appeared, which I lacked so much. Now I know exactly who to contact if I need a hint. Here is her number: +1 (646) 377-9379
