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

Lilia is a person of light. When I talked to her, I felt such warmth, some deep support. It was as if she carefully sorted out my feelings and helped me understand what to do next. And you know... my loved one really did come back. But perhaps most importantly, it's the inner peace I've found. I feel alive again. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
Thanks to Alexander for his help. I highly recommend him.
I'll leave the number of the magician Alexander: +38097172179 (you can message or call him on Viber and WhatsApp). He helped my son escape a toxic, destructive relationship. It so happened that at one point, my son got into an unhealthy relationship with a cunning and wily woman. She did nothing but manipulate him, swindle him out of his money, and acted like a little angel. My son lost his sense of purpose. Because of her, his career began to deteriorate, he developed bad habits, and his health began to deteriorate. From a young and promising man, he turned to a demotivated man, controlled by a cunning woman. Heart-to-heart talks didn't help. My son refused to hear that anything was wrong with him. Ultimately, my husband and I, as parents, were forced to turn to practitioners. We consulted fortune tellers, tarot readers, and sorcerers. But I was impressed by the clairvoyant magician Alexander. We didn't even have to tell him anything. He saw the problem himself, explained it all in detail, and suggested possible courses of action. My son didn't even have to be told anything about it—Alexander carried out the work without him being present. And it was practically a miracle. It was as if a veil had been lifted from my son's eyes. He took on the work, let go of his old self, and found a good girl with whom he started a family. My husband and I are now happy grandparents. Thank you, Alexander, for helping us. I recommend him.
3 years of helping Ukrainian refugees A gala ceremony was recently held to honor the TraNa Relief Association, a charitable organization led by Natalia Travilina, a woman who has dedicated her heart and energy to helping Ukrainian refugees and other displaced persons in difficult life situations.

He left. I was left alone. And only Lilia said: This is not the end.
Everyone said, "Let it go. Forget it." But my heart ached. When I came to Lilia, I was broken. She saw that there was still a connection between us. And she helped me restore it. I worked on myself. On my energy, on my state. Lilia led me step by step. After two months, he called. After three, he came back. Now we are together again, as if everything was all over again. Only stronger. I don’t know how you do it, Lilia. But you brought my love back. And that is priceless. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
If you're reading this, it means you, like me, are searching for hope. I lost the man I loved due to misunderstandings and interference. Lilia didn't just bring him back; she changed my life. With her help, I understood why everything happened and how to fix it. He came back on his own, with confession and remorse. And now I know love can be restored if you trust with your heart. Thank you, Lilia, you are my guardian angel. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
