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

Lilya is not just a specialist. She is a person next to whom the soul opens up.
Lilya is not just a specialist. She is a person next to whom the soul opens up. I went to her in despair, with an internal cry: "Save me!" And she saved me. She helped me hear myself, forgive, let go of grievances, stop getting stuck in pain. And then - to establish a dialogue with my husband, without pressure and demands. We began to look at each other with warmth, again. I thought that we had no chance. But Lilya showed - there is. The main thing is desire and the right guide. She is exactly such a guide.

Hello everyone! I want to share my story, because maybe someone can help. I still don’t believe what happened to me, but it’s not like this. My man, my soul, my children, has become a stranger. You just need to go to another woman... to a woman I never heard of, and who, as it turned out, gave me a love spell. My heart burst into pieces. The children cried out that I was suffering, and it was even worse. There were prayers, tears, and blessings with the Kohanim. Nothing helped, even though I was under hypnosis. Vipadadkovo's unknown wife in the clinic, at the hour of the wedding, pleased the beast to Andriy's molfar. She said that she shouldn’t hurt people and helps them in the most difficult situations. I thought I was so great that I took the contacts. I wrote to Andriy on WhatsApp and asked for a diagnosis. Vin, no one reads my thoughts, saying that the man is in a tizzy. What a love spell. I got goosebumps all over my body. Please don't ask for details! He told me about everything that happened, so, no one would order. It was incredible! She asked for more help. Andriy began to prance. It's not an easy process. I felt how things were changing, but suddenly it was so scary, why ask? Why turn around, my man? Andriy calmed me down, gave me pleasure, encouraged me. And then, after about an hour, my man began to change. Having become dissatisfied, they then began to talk about those who do not understand how they could have done such a thing. And then I turned around! He turned to us, to the children, to me. Just like after a long sleep, illness and destruction, or just after being at home. I am endlessly in love with molfar Andriy. It’s not just turning me into a person, it’s turning me into my family, my life. This gift is beyond belief, it is something that goes beyond the boundaries of our understanding. If you find yourself in a similar situation and realize that your family is on someone else’s responsibility, don’t get carried away. Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
I hesitated for a long time to write this review... Every time I recall what was happening in our family before meeting Varya, the molfarka, my heart aches with pain. My husband and I were together for almost 12 years, and our love once seemed unbreakable. But over the years, everything began to crumble—fights, misunderstandings, coldness. He began to distance himself, and silence and resentment reigned in the house. I felt love fading, as if someone was sucking the life out of us. Out of desperation, I turned to Varya; a friend who had miraculously brought her husband back after he cheated on me told me about her. I didn't really believe it, but a last spark of hope burned within me. Varya listened to me with such attention, as if she understood the pain in my heart. She said, "Your family has a light; it just needs to be rekindled." After her work, strange but bright changes began. My husband suddenly asked to talk. We sat in the kitchen until morning, crying, remembering how we once vowed to be together no matter what. It was as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket from us. Laughter echoed in the house again, and that warm look I hadn't seen in years appeared in my husband's eyes. I don't know how Varya does it—with prayers, herbs, or some ancient power—but I know one thing for sure: she brought love back to our home. She brought back what I thought was lost forever. Varya isn't just a molfarka. She's a savior of broken hearts. Thank her for giving our family a second chance. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I came to Lilia with a broken soul. She spoke so softly, listened so attentively, that I felt understood. After her work, I saw signs, changes, and steps toward meeting each other. And now that we are together again, I remember her words every day: "Love cannot be lost if the heart is open." Thank you, Lilia.
