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

American frosts I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who came despite the snow and frost, and some, due to transportation problems, walked to work. Marina Lagunova
Returned my beloved and removed the curse - Maria really helps
After breaking up with my ex, I started having problems—not just in my personal life, but in my overall well-being. I was constantly having breakdowns, feeling tired, and having bad luck. I turned to Maria on her advice, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. She immediately told me I was negatively affected—a strong evil eye had been cast on me. She did a cleansing and performed several prayer rituals. Everything was very calm, with explanations. She works only with white magic, without fear or risk. And most importantly, a few weeks later, my ex contacted me himself. We're back together, and our relationship has even gotten stronger. Maria is a very bright and strong person. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. +18473130212 Viber
Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
Hello everyone! I want to share my story, because maybe someone can help. I still don’t believe what happened to me, but it’s not like this. My man, my soul, my children, has become a stranger. You just need to go to another woman... to a woman I never heard of, and who, as it turned out, gave me a love spell. My heart burst into pieces. The children cried out that I was suffering, and it was even worse. There were prayers, tears, and blessings with the Kohanim. Nothing helped, even though I was under hypnosis. Vipadadkovo's unknown wife in the clinic, at the hour of the wedding, pleased the beast to Andriy's molfar. She said that she shouldn’t hurt people and helps them in the most difficult situations. I thought I was so great that I took the contacts. I wrote to Andriy on WhatsApp and asked for a diagnosis. Vin, no one reads my thoughts, saying that the man is in a tizzy. What a love spell. I got goosebumps all over my body. Please don't ask for details! He told me about everything that happened, so, no one would order. It was incredible! She asked for more help. Andriy began to prance. It's not an easy process. I felt how things were changing, but suddenly it was so scary, why ask? Why turn around, my man? Andriy calmed me down, gave me pleasure, encouraged me. And then, after about an hour, my man began to change. Having become dissatisfied, they then began to talk about those who do not understand how they could have done such a thing. And then I turned around! He turned to us, to the children, to me. Just like after a long sleep, illness and destruction, or just after being at home. I am endlessly in love with molfar Andriy. It’s not just turning me into a person, it’s turning me into my family, my life. This gift is beyond belief, it is something that goes beyond the boundaries of our understanding. If you find yourself in a similar situation and realize that your family is on someone else’s responsibility, don’t get carried away. Return to Andriy's molfar. He is a serviceable charmer, and his help is priceless. Andria's number +380932169225
