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.

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 thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light.
I haven’t had the courage to write this for a long time, because everything I’ve been through so far makes my heart hurt. Soon after I separated from my partner, I left my family, and a darker period of life began for me. Sleepless nights, tears, being empty at home, despair and hopelessness... I didn’t believe that I could turn him around and renew our family. When I returned to Matrona, this was my remaining peace, my remaining hope. She listened to me with such warmth and understanding, and she shared my love. From the first words, it became clear that I was not alone, that there was light at the end of this darkness. Matrona helped me walk this important path: she turned faith in myself, changed my soul and heart. I began to mark the signs that she indicated, and the man himself, having earned the first crumb before reconciliation. Those who seemed impossible, became - we turned home. Today we meet again. Our home is filled with joy, laughter and warmth. I thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light. Without her help, my family couldn’t get back together no. +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
When my husband said he was leaving, I thought it was all over. We had arguments, he became cold, stopped communicating, spent nights away from home. It turned out he had someone. I found Lilia through reviews. I called her - she immediately said that he was under negativity and influence from the outside. Everything coincided. We did several cleansing sessions and a ritual for return. After 12 days, he wrote himself, came. Cried. Said that he did not understand what came over him. Now we are working on our relationship, and I feel that the man I loved has appeared again. I don’t know how she does it, but there is a result. Thank you very much, Lilia.

The husband left for another woman, and Lilia brought him back home
I never thought I would turn to a clairvoyant, but when my husband left the family for another woman, the ground fell out from under my feet. We had been together for almost 10 years, two children, a house, a life... And he just left. A friend recommended Lilia - she said that she really helps. I did not believe her, but desperation made me try. Lilia immediately told me from the photo that my husband had a strong energetic influence from the outside - the woman did the binding. She said that she would cleanse and perform a ritual to restore the relationship. A week later, he began to call, ask about the children, then came home "to pick up things", but stayed to talk. After 3 weeks, he returned completely. Now he himself says that it is as if he "saw the light". We are a family again. I am still in shock, to be honest... Thanks to Lilia. I wouldn't have managed without her. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication
