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

How a clairvoyant helped bring back love and restore relationships
When my relationship with my partner became very strained, I didn't know what to do. I consulted a clairvoyant, and she immediately saw that our relationship wasn't just plagued by problems, but also by negativity that was preventing us from being together. She helped me get rid of this negativity, performed a cleansing ritual, and literally within a few days, we began communicating like before. Everything improved, and I felt harmony in our relationship again. I am so grateful for her help and support! Contact for an appointment: +16463779379
When my husband said he was leaving, I thought it was all over. We had arguments, he became cold, stopped communicating, spent nights away from home. It turned out he had someone. I found Lilia through reviews. I called her - she immediately said that he was under negativity and influence from the outside. Everything coincided. We did several cleansing sessions and a ritual for return. After 12 days, he wrote himself, came. Cried. Said that he did not understand what came over him. Now we are working on our relationship, and I feel that the man I loved has appeared again. I don’t know how she does it, but there is a result. Thank you very much, Lilia.
