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 turned to different people, but only Lilia really helped.
I reached out to a variety of people, but only Lilia truly helped. She didn't promise the impossible; she simply said, "Give me some time." And indeed, within a few days, my husband started texting me, then came home. It's a true miracle! Thank you, Lilia, for your kindness and strength! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
Only Lilia, from the first word, felt what I was going through.
When I was cheated on, I thought it was over, period. My heart was broken, my soul empty. I couldn't talk to anyone, no one understood. Only Lilia understood what I was going through from the first word. She said things only he and I knew. It was amazing... and scary. But most importantly, she helped me understand why it happened and how to survive it. Thanks to her wise advice and energy work, our marriage not only survived, but became stronger. My husband changed. I changed. We started living anew. And all this is thanks to you, Lilia. You truly have a gift! I write to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433)
There is peace in the house now, and I am grateful to Lilia for her rituals and support.
Lilia suggested performing a series of reconciliation rituals, and I agreed because I wanted to take every opportunity. Afterward, it was as if a wall disappeared between my husband and me—he became calmer, we started talking, and gradually we regained our trust. Now there's peace in our home, and I'm grateful to Lilia for her rituals and support. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
