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

Lily helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling.
I came to Lilia when my husband and I were separated, like two strangers. Lilia helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling. We both began to change. And one day he simply said, "Let's try again." We are a family again. And I thank her every day for the light she brought to my heart.

Reviews of psychics in New York - my recommendation
I live in New York and was looking for someone who could help me without long rituals, simply and humanly. I found this woman and I don't regret it. She's very clear, specific, and doesn't make any fuss. She said it wouldn't be easy, but she would help, and she did. Her readings are precise; she sees everything clearly. Now I feel confident again. Here's her contact information: +1 (646) 377-9379 – check it out yourself if you don't believe me.
Now our family is stronger than ever. Thank you, Lilia!
My husband and I were on the brink of divorce and no longer believed anything could be fixed. But fate brought Lilia and I together, and it was a true miracle! I found her in New York, and she helped us find our way back to each other. She showed us the importance of understanding our partners, working on ourselves, and not being afraid to seek a solution, even when it seems all is lost. Now our family is stronger than ever. Thank you, Lilia! (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls)
We lived together for 12 years. Home, kids, memories… And then he said, “I don’t love you anymore.” He just packed his suitcase and left. I couldn’t breathe. I cried at night. I hid from the kids. And then they sent me Lily’s profile. I just wrote, “He left, help me…” Lily said, “Give me time. You’ll still walk hand in hand with him.” And I don’t know what she did… but a week later he was kneeling in front of me. He said, “I’ve gone crazy, forgive me. I love you.” Lily, you changed my destiny. I’m a wife again. I’m happy again. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
