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

An honest review of a powerful clairvoyant: she removed negativity and restored love and health.
My fiancé and I were preparing for our wedding, when suddenly he seemed to have changed: he became aggressive, lost interest, and eventually left me for another woman. This triggered a severe neurosis, insomnia, and constant ailments. I contacted this clairvoyant on WhatsApp. She accurately described our entire life using Tarot cards and immediately identified outside influences—a love spell from a rival and a strong evil eye on me. She performed a cleansing, removed all the dirt, and set up protection. Within a few days, my sleep returned and my lack of energy disappeared, and two weeks later, my fiancé came to confess, not understanding what had come over him. The wedding took place, and we are happy! Contact: +16462427319 (WhatsApp, Viber).
Real help from a clairvoyant and tarot reader – Natalia Valerievna reviews
Ladies, don't waste your time on empty promises. Before meeting Natalya Valeryevna, I visited a lot of specialists, but no one could really help. But during the very first consultation, she laid everything out in detail! The communication format was very warm and conversational (with or without the camera). The reading was in-depth: photo reading, tarot, digital psychology, and horoscope. She gave sound advice, suggested what to do, and performed powerful rituals. Everything in my life improved, and the predictions came true down to the last detail! Telegram: +380667493555
Fixing the Riegelmann Boardwalk will protect public health and safety.
Fixing the Riegelmann Boardwalk will protect public health and safety. Every day, thousands of people come to the ocean on Coney Island and Brighton Beach. These walks include senior citizens, parents with children, people with disabilities, local residents, and tourists from all over the world. However, today, walking along some sections of the boardwalk can result in injury. Marina Lagunova
