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

She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I’ve been thinking for a long time that I could write this... If the man went to bed, simply closing the doors behind him and depriving me and my three small children, I stopped sleeping. The house became empty, and everything seemed important again. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep, I marveled at my children and didn’t understand how to live in the future. When I came to Varya’s molfarka, I wasn’t human... for a moment. I sat in front of her, unable to speak the desired word. My breasts were squeezed so hard that I felt like I was dying. And it seemed to me that no one in the world would be able to understand everything about me. Ale Varya did not need to explain anything. She marveled at me and appreciated everything I had experienced. She herself began to talk about those that lie in my soul, about my fears, images, about the empty space that sat in the middle. I heard her and cried like I had never cried in my life. Varya performed her rituals, but most of all she gave me what no one could give: see that I am not evil, that you can still fight for your life, for your family, for myself. And then things happened that I never dared to believe... The man began to write. Then come. Crying, saying that I had received a terrible mercy, that nothing had hit me and I was tired of doing everything differently. When I turned back home, when the children hugged him again, I stood there and couldn’t believe that this was true. I don’t know what It helped... the rituals, the words, the energy and the light that she turns to people. But I know one thing for sure: if it weren’t for Varya, I wouldn’t have gotten out of that hole. She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
If it weren't for Lilia, I would have lost my wife and children.
I don't really believe in psychics, but when things reached a dead end, I was willing to try anything. Lilia immediately said she saw the pain in our home. We worked on my inner state, my fears, and my resentments. She helped me change not only the situation, but also myself. My wife noticed the changes and began to trust me again. Now it's like we're living everything all over again, with love and respect. Thank you, Lilia, you're not just a clairvoyant—you save families.

Feedback on fortune telling with clairvoyant Emelie
I want to share my experience, because I've read similar reviews on forums before. I contacted Emelie for a fortune-telling via Viber. She very accurately described my past and present, moments that only a close friend would know. She didn't press me with questions; she spoke calmly and confidently. After the reading, she advised me on the best course of action to avoid making mistakes. It's clear she's a professional and truly understands what she's doing. Ladies, if you need help, feel free to contact her. Emelie - Viber / WhatsApp: +380 50 014 77 07
Has anyone contacted Tatiana remotely at +380984558444? I'm sharing my experience.
I'm writing this review because I'd previously searched for information and couldn't find anything concrete. I contacted Tatyana during a very difficult time—I was completely exhausted, had relationship problems, and felt like everything was falling apart. We initially just chatted, and I was surprised that she didn't ask unnecessary questions or push me. She told me honestly where she could help and where I needed to work on myself. After the consultations, my constant tension went away, I began to sleep better, and the endless arguments at home stopped. There were no horror stories or intimidation—on the contrary, calm explanations and support. Most importantly, the changes were gradual but sustainable. Now our family is quieter, I myself have become calmer and no longer react to everything. If anyone is looking for someone who works gently and without pressure, I can say that my experience was positive. If anyone needs help, here is her number: +380984558444 WhatsApp/Viber
