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 never thought that I would find myself in a situation where I would need someone's advice on my personal life. I always thought that I could handle it myself. But at some point, it was as if a wall had grown between me and my wife. We didn't understand each other, and quarrels became daily. There was coldness in the house, and emptiness in my soul. Turning to Lilya was, frankly speaking, a spontaneous decision. But, as it turned out, the best one. With her, I began to see things that I had simply not noticed before. I began to hear my wife differently. And most importantly, I began to change myself. Lilya didn't push or impose, but gently and accurately guided me. Today, we have "us" again. And for this, I am grateful to her with all my heart. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
The magician Alexander helped me put my life in order.
The magician Alexander helped me get my life in order. At one point, I was beset by troubles and trials from all sides—it was enough to make me howl. It was nonstop, one disaster after another, and one failure after another. Everything was breaking, spoiling, getting upset, and never coming together. From the smallest to the largest. I couldn't believe it was happening to me. Everything was falling apart: my work, my social life, my health. It was like an endless bad movie mocking me. While I still had the strength, I even laughed about it, but after a while it wasn't funny anymore, and I started thinking hard. It couldn't be that my life had just gone downhill. The magician Alexander helped me find the cause and fix it. I'm happy that when I came across his number +380971792179, I took the plunge and wrote him on WhatsApp asking to see what was wrong with me. This decision literally saved me. Alexander is a powerful clairvoyant and told me everything about my situation, right down to the names, without asking me anything. He offered me options and a way to deal with it. I was amazed by his abilities and immediately asked for his help. The work lasted several weeks. During the process, my life began to improve before my very eyes. I felt like I could breathe again, and my luck had returned. Alexander always kept me informed of what was happening and how the process was progressing. I now remember that period as a nightmare that lasted forever. I am infinitely grateful to Alexander. I recommend everyone contact him if they are facing difficulties.
Varya is a truly bright person, whom fate sent to me at the darkest moment of my life.
When my husband left me for another woman, my world collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I lived in a fog... Everything we'd built over the years was destroyed in an instant. I prayed, I cried, I asked fate for a sign—and apparently for good reason: fate led me to the molfarka Varya. From our first conversation, I felt extraordinary warmth and strength from her. Varya said that everything can be restored if the love is true, and she suggested performing rituals to cleanse the soul and restore the connection between me and my husband. I did everything as she said: I lit candles, read the words, filled my heart with faith and love. And a miracle happened. Just a few weeks later, my husband called. Then he came. We talked for a long time, both crying... He said he realized where his home is and that he wanted to start over. Now we are together, as if we've found a second wind in our relationship. I am infinitely grateful to the molfarka Varya! Thanks to her strength, wisdom, and kindness, my family is back together, laughter and love resonate in our home. Varya is a true lighthearted person, sent to me by fate at the darkest moment of my life. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
Thank you, Lilia, you gave me back not only my husband, but also my life.
If it weren't for Lilia, I probably would have simply broken down. My husband left me for a younger woman, saying I was "burned out." I was so hurt that I started to lose myself. I contacted Lilia through a friend. From the first conversation, she said his feelings hadn't gone away, he was just under someone else's influence. I didn't believe her, but I agreed to the job. And indeed, he started texting me within three days, and he came back a week later. Now we're back together. He says he's "woken up." I'm crying as I write this. Thank you, Lilia, you've given me back not only my husband, but my life. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
