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

Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, for your support, for bringing back not just people, but happiness to the home!
I never thought I'd turn to a clairvoyant, but life forced me to… After 15 years of marriage, my husband left. He simply left—without explanation, with cold eyes. I didn't know what to do, how to move on. A friend recommended Lilia, and I decided to give it a try. Already during the first consultation, she described everything that had happened, as if she had been with us the whole time. We worked with her for almost a month—prayers, rituals, energy. And then the incredible happened—my husband returned. On his own. Without reproaches, without scandals. Now it's like a second spring for us. Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, for your support, for bringing back not just people, but happiness into the home! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433

My husband and I divorced. I tried to let it all go, but my heart was breaking. He started living with someone else, and I suffered in silence. I couldn't sleep at night, praying. I stumbled across Lilia's page by chance, and it was as if an inner voice said, "Contact me." So I wrote. She immediately said, "This isn't the end. You haven't let him go, and he hasn't let you go either." Everything she did was silent, without fuss or promises, but a month later he returned. He just showed up. And we started all over again. Thank you, Lilia, for your faith, for your support, and for being there. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I want to share my experience with clairvoyant Rufina. I read a lot of good things about her on forums, so I decided to contact her. I didn't regret it! The Viber reading was so accurate that I was shocked. She not only predicted important events but also immediately gave recommendations on how to improve my current situation. I was especially impressed by her approach to rituals. Rufina conducts them with great soul and faith. She truly visits sacred places, and it's clear that she performs each ritual with love and respect for her work. My problems began to disappear, and I felt my life improving. From now on, I will always turn only to Rufina when I need help. I recommend her to anyone looking for real support and help in difficult situations! Here is her number: +380686790785 WhatsApp/Viber
Lily is my savior and sorceress who brought back my lost love!
I didn't believe in magic. I used to think such things were just fiction and delusions. But when I found myself on the brink of despair and lost the man of my dreams, I had no choice. He left. Just left, leaving me with a broken heart and the feeling that my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried to fight, to fix everything I could, but nothing worked. And at some point, I just gave up. Then I found out about Lilia. At first, I even doubted it, but a gut feeling told me this was my last chance. I decided to give it a try, and it was the right decision. When I first talked to Lilia, I felt such incredible warmth and support that even the tears weren't from pain, but from the fact that I was finally understood. She immediately "saw" the whole situation. Not only what was happening with my man, but also my own mistakes, my fears, my doubts. She accurately identified the blocks that were preventing him and me from being happy, and offered not just a path to restoring our relationship, but a transformation of me as a person. Lilia didn't promise miracles. She said I needed to work on myself. But her words were so confident and warm that I believed anything was possible. She set me on a path of self-discovery, taught me to let go of the past, overcome my fears, and become more self-assured. And a month later, when I had almost forgotten how painful it had been, he came. The very man I once thought lost forever returned to my life. He said, "You've changed. You've become different, and I want to be with you too." These were the most important words in my life, and I know that without Lilia, this would not have happened. I am forever grateful to her for what she did for me. She gave me back not only a man, but also my own strength. I once again felt worthy of happiness, and that love isn't magic, but a force that lies within us. Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant. She is a woman with a deep understanding of life and a huge heart. I recommend her to anyone who has lost hope. She will restore not only your love, but also your faith in yourself. Thank you, Lilia, for being there, for your support, and for your miracle! Her contact information is: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
