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 was sitting on the train, tears streaming down my cheeks, my heart breaking. My boyfriend, the love of my life, had left. Not just left, but for his ex! I knew, I felt, that something was wrong. He couldn't have gone crazy so suddenly. And then a fellow passenger, an elderly, wise woman, carefully asked what had happened. I told her everything, and after listening, she quietly said it looked like a love spell. She recommended a powerful clairvoyant magician. According to her, he had helped more than one of her friends in even more difficult situations. I thought about it, but wrote down the phone number. Desperation pushed me to take this step. Using the phone number, I found many good reviews about Zakhar online. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a meeting. He was completely different from what I had imagined – calm, insightful, incredibly wise. I was shocked that I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar is such a powerful clairvoyant that he was able to tell me everything himself. My worst fears about a powerful love spell were only confirmed. Zakhar agreed to take the job. Within days, my boyfriend made contact, and his behavior began to change. He started calling, seeking meetings, and his gaze returned to its former, warm and loving expression. And then the incredible happened! My beloved came to me with a ring and proposed. I cried with happiness! Now we are married and live in mutual understanding. I am grateful to fate for that travel companion and, of course, for the magician Zakhar, who restored our happiness. He didn't just give me back my boyfriend; he gave me back my life! Zakhar's number is +380954248510
I want to leave a review about a wonderful clairvoyant who truly helped me bring back my loved one. We broke up, and I was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do next. I contacted her, and she did several Tarot readings and helped me remove a curse and negativity. After her work, I felt a huge change in myself, and a couple of weeks later, my loved one returned. I was shocked by the accuracy of her predictions! I am very grateful for her help. Her contact information: +16463779379

Feedback on fortune telling with clairvoyant Emelie
I want to share my experience, because I've read similar reviews on forums before. I contacted Emelie for a fortune-telling via Viber. She very accurately described my past and present, moments that only a close friend would know. She didn't press me with questions; she spoke calmly and confidently. After the reading, she advised me on the best course of action to avoid making mistakes. It's clear she's a professional and truly understands what she's doing. Ladies, if you need help, feel free to contact her. Emelie - Viber / WhatsApp: +380 50 014 77 07
