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.

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.

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

My husband left after 15 years of marriage... and came back
My husband and I lived together for 15 years. And suddenly - "I need to figure myself out", "I want to leave". It turned out that he was having an affair with a woman from work. I couldn't believe it. Everything was falling apart. I lost my appetite, slept poorly, couldn't look at myself in the mirror. I heard about Lilya in one of the Telegram groups. I wrote to her. She already understood everything by her voice. She said that she would do an energy correction and bring back the warmth between us. After 10 days, he started getting in touch, after 3 weeks - he came back. Now he is close, and we are working on our mistakes. Lilya didn't just bring him back - she gave me back the faith that love can be saved. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)

After Lilia's rituals, the air in the house seemed to change.
After Lilia's rituals, the air in the house seemed to change. Even the walls seemed to stop pressing in. And the most incredible thing was that my husband returned without any fuss, without any demands; he simply quietly entered the house and said, "I realized that this is my home." It was like a scene from a movie, the kind you dream of experiencing in reality. And it happened. Thanks to Lilia.
