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

My husband left after 10 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and said it was over. I was in shock. My thoughts were the darkest. I looked for help and found Lilia. I cried during our first conversation; it was as if she looked into my soul. She told me that my husband and I had a strong connection, but someone had interfered. She performed rituals to restore our relationship, bringing back love and trust. Now we are together again. Thank you, Lilia. I am grateful every day for finding each other!

The name of this force is Varya the Molfarka. She brought back not only my husband, but my soul. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I wrote this through tears. When my husband left, it was as if my soul had been ripped out. The house was empty, the children were silent, and I lived on autopilot. No words, no prayers helped. And then I found Molfar Varya. She didn't ask unnecessary questions, just looked into my eyes and said, "He'll come back. But I need to cleanse my heart of pain." I didn't believe it. But two weeks later, he stood on the doorstep. With flowers. With tears. With an admission that he "didn't understand how he could leave like that." Since then, I know: there is a power beyond logic. And the name of this power is Molfar Varya. She brought back not only my husband, she gave me back my soul. HER number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
Zakhar saved our family, even though it seemed like everything was completely lost. I will always be grateful to him. Don't miss your chance to save your happiness!
My husband and I had been married for fifteen years and had three children when he left home and filed for divorce. There was no sign of trouble. We were living a quiet life, but one day he came home with a glazed expression, packed his things, and left. He completely refused to communicate with anyone – only through a lawyer. And so it went on for a year. What didn't I try during that time to save our family? Everything was useless. My husband was living with another woman, and the divorce proceedings were nearing completion. I no longer believed that anything could be changed. But when I found the number of the magician Zakhar, a glimmer of hope appeared in my soul. People were talking so much about him, that he literally works miracles, and my heart seemed to tell me, "What if?" I messaged Zakhar on Viber at +380954248510 and asked him to look into my situation. Zakhar didn't ask anything, but saw everything for himself. I just listened, and goosebumps ran down my spine as he explained everything in detail. I immediately begged for help, because I knew someone with such abilities could do it. It was something special. Zakhar was able to completely change everything in just a few days. My husband, in tears of remorse, was home just a couple of weeks later. Zakhar saved our family, even though it seemed like everything was completely lost. I will always be grateful to him. Don't miss your chance to save your happiness!

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179. When I contacted him, I was living in Germany and couldn't come to an in-person meeting. I messaged him on WhatsApp. Alexander understood my situation – he consulted with me and performed the work remotely. This was no problem for him. He is a compassionate and kind person. A true clairvoyant and a powerful practitioner with a gift from a Higher Power. Even talking to him makes you feel better. The work he does is very effective. I literally felt it even from a distance. But most importantly, his abilities helped me solve a number of problems and bring my husband back. I recommend the magician Alexander to anyone seeking qualified and effective help.
