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 performed the rituals that Lilia recommended to restore family harmony.
I performed the rituals Lilia recommended for restoring family harmony. They helped me tune into the right wave, becoming softer and calmer. This also affected our relationship: my husband noticed the changes and began to communicate. Now we're back together, and I believe the rituals were the starting point for our reconciliation.

Ever since I was a child, I've understood that many things in life happen for a reason. In my family, it was almost the norm to turn to fortune tellers, sorcerers, and people with abilities, both for personal and business matters. And many things worked out well for my parents and loved ones thanks to this. Of course, no one waited for the wind to blow or sat still trying to make money. But a little luck certainly didn't hurt. At least that's what we always said. Thanks to my parents, I received a good education, moved to another city, and started my own business. Overall, life went on as usual and without incident. But then, suddenly, acute problems began to pile up on me. In a matter of months, major losses and difficult trials followed one after another. My quiet life turned into a series of stresses and upheavals, which affected everything: my health, family relationships, and business. To the point that my wife started raising the question of divorce. And then I began to wonder if something was wrong. But it turned out I didn't have any old contacts, and the old sorcerer I'd consulted had died several years ago. So I started looking for someone to turn to. The magician Alexander eventually helped me sort everything out and put everything in order. I got his number +380971792179 through trusted sources and scheduled an appointment via WhatsApp. His level of clairvoyance and abilities really impressed me, and the results were visible quickly. Now I regularly turn to him when needed and recommend him to others.
When I turned to Lilia Pavlovna, I was in complete chaos, both mentally and at home. My husband had left, there were fights at home, and everything was falling apart at work. I no longer knew where to go or who to turn to. But Lilia saw everything herself, without my words, and told me about my life, my past, and the people around me. Everything matched up down to the last detail! She performed her rituals, cleansed me and everything around me. Since then, a lot has changed: my husband has returned, our relationship has improved, and there is peace and warmth at home again. Even my work has improved: I have gained confidence, new opportunities, as if everything had just fallen into place! Lilia Pavlovna is a truly gifted person. She helps sincerely, from the heart, and most importantly, there really is a result. I am writing this review with gratitude and from the bottom of my heart. May she continue to help those who have lost hope. Here are her contacts: +380 93 266 5520 (WhatsApp) +19297133433 (USA)

When my husband left me for his mistress, my life became a living hell. I woke up crying and fell asleep with an emptiness inside. It seemed like I'd never get up again... there was too much pain, humiliation, and loneliness. And then Marfa came into my life. She was the only person who heard my cry, who didn't turn away when I stood on the very edge. She helped me pull myself out of the darkness, gave me the strength to live day after day, not to give up, not to dissolve in despair. And one day, something I didn't dare believe happened... my husband returned. Himself, with tears and remorse. And most importantly, Marfa helped me regain myself, my soul, my breath. If it weren't for her, I simply wouldn't have survived. Thank you, Marfa, for lifting me from my knees and bringing me back to life. I'll leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
