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

Real result after rituals with Olga Nikolaevna I turned to her because of money problems and constant failures. It seemed that everything I touched was collapsing. Even my health began to fail. Olga Nikolaevna saw the road closures, made diagnostics and began the cleansing. After the first week I felt inner relief, and a month later I received a job offer that completely changed my life. She does everything with faith and light, very kindly, with prayers. Her fortune telling is accurate, without unnecessary things. I recommend her with all my heart! Contact: +380687014758

Before Lily, there was irritation, coldness, and arguments out of the blue in our home. We were both tired, but didn't know how to get out of it. At first, we didn't believe that someone from the outside could really help. But after the first meeting, we felt relief. It was like turning on the light in a dark room. Lily removed what was dragging us down - old grievances, misunderstandings, scraps of other people's attitudes. Now it's as if we are building a relationship anew - on a clean slate. And this is her great merit. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
