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

For a long time, I hesitated to reach out to anyone for help; shame and pain prevented me from even talking about what happened between us. But when I finally wrote to Lilia, it was as if a small spark of hope appeared in my heart. I cried as I told her how everything had fallen apart, and she so tenderly supported me, helping me see that all was not lost. Thanks to her advice, I learned to listen, ask for forgiveness, and appreciate his love. Now, slowly but surely, we are moving toward each other, and I will forever be grateful to Lilia for restoring my faith and the strength to fight for our happiness.

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.
If you think Lilia is just guessing, you're wrong. It's much deeper. It's as if she takes my hand and leads me through the fog of pain, anger, and resentment. I lost touch with my wife. We were like neighbors. Constant reproaches, silence. I was already thinking about leaving. But someone recommended Lilia to me. She helped me listen to my wife and understand that we still have a chance. We both changed after working with her. Now we have plans together again, even the romance has returned. I didn't expect it. And I'm grateful. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Thank you, Lilia, for giving me hope and faith! When my husband stopped answering his calls and we grew distant, I was in despair. Lilia helped me understand what was happening and how to fix it. Thanks to her recommendations and rituals, our marriage became strong and warm again. I'm so happy I turned to you! I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).
