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

If someone told me that I would get my ex back, I would laugh in their face.
If someone had told me I'd get my ex back, I'd have laughed in their face. But Lilia isn't just about helping, she's about subtle psychology and energy. I did everything she advised. Three weeks later, he was already liking my posts, and a month later, he was standing at the door with coffee and an apology. He's back! And now I'm keeping up the good work! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
I am very grateful to Lilia for her wisdom and support!
Lilia is a real find! I didn't believe in clairvoyance, but when my husband left me for another woman, I decided to try everything to get him back. Lilia immediately sensed what was holding us back and helped me work on myself and our relationship. After just a couple of months, my husband started showing concern and came home. I'm so grateful to Lilia for her wisdom and support! I'm contacting her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
Brighton Fair: A celebration of colour, encounters and memories
Brighton Fair: A celebration of colour, encounters and memories On the last Sunday of August, many people were looking forward to the traditional Brighton Fair, which has been organised for many years by the Brighton Residents Association, headed by Pat Singer. But this year the festival took place a week earlier – on 24 August. Marina Lagunova
I want to share my story. After many arguments, my husband left, and I didn't know what to do. A friend recommended that I consult the clairvoyant Lilia. During our first conversation, she described the situation so accurately that I believed her immediately. Everything she said came true. My husband returned and became as attentive and loving as before. A huge thank you to Lilia for saving our family! Her contact information is +380638055486 (her WhatsApp and Viber) and +19297133433 (USA).
When Lilia performed the ritual, tears flowed from my eyes, but not from pain, but from hope that, for the first time in a long time, ignited inside me.
As Lilia performed the ritual, tears flowed from my eyes, but not from pain—from the hope that ignited within me for the first time in a long time. A few days later, my husband admitted that he felt me as if he could hear my heart from a distance. He said he realized that we were still one. I don't know how to describe it other than as a miracle that Lilia helped create. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
