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

A review of a clairvoyant who helps in love and removes negativity
I've been searching for a good clairvoyant and tarot reader for a long time, and I've finally found one! She's truly unique; her predictions are always spot-on and help me navigate my life. I especially appreciate how she helps me with love issues—she brought back my loved one after he left me. We're back together! She also helps me with personal issues, removing the negativity that was holding me back. Thank you so much for your help! I recommend her to anyone looking for support and answers to important questions. Her number is +16463779379.
White magic, prayers, fortune telling - Olga Nikolaevna helped
My story may seem typical to some, but I still believe that Olga Nikolaevna changed my fate. I came to her when I was deeply depressed after losing a loved one. The pain would not go away, my dreams were disturbing, my health was constantly failing. Psychologists did not help - everything felt like some kind of shadow on me. I found out about Olga Nikolaevna through a friend who had already contacted her. I called her on Viber: +380687014758. The session was remote, but very powerful. She said that I not only had an energy leak, but also a trace of a strong evil eye that had been going on since the funeral. She cleansed me, explained how to close the pain channels, what prayers to read. She did everything with great respect, without fear, without pressure. Three days after the ceremony, I felt light - for the first time in months. And then I started to come back to life: I had more strength, they removed my diagnosis based on hormones, and I started working again. Now I always know who to turn to. Olga Nikolaevna is not just a clairvoyant, she is a very bright person. Viber: +380687014758.
I thank Lilia for her help and support. It was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home.
When I turned to clairvoyant Lilia, my life was in turmoil. My husband and I had drifted apart so far that even normal conversations were difficult. I felt like I was losing what was most precious to me, but I didn't know where to start to fix it. Lilia immediately put me at ease—calm and attentive, she seemed to see what I couldn't understand. Her advice and explanations helped me understand my emotions and what was happening between us. Following her recommendations, a warm energy began to fill our home: it was as if we remembered why we chose each other. Our relationship became softer and calmer. We began discussing important things again, making time for each other, and caring about each other's feelings. The tension that had plagued us for months gradually disappeared. Now I feel much more confident and calm, and harmony reigns in our family once again. I thank Lilia for her help and support. This was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does. Her contact phone number is +380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433
