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 became the light for me that brought me out of the darkness.
Sometimes life breaks into pieces, and it seems that you can’t put it back together... But Lilia became the light that brought me out of the darkness. She didn’t just see my pain - she helped me get my loved one back. Our hearts are together again, and laughter sounds in the house. Thank you for your gift, for the kindness and strength that you share with others. Her contacts (+380638055486 - this is her WhatsApp or Viber and there is a regular number to call her +19297133433)
Real result after rituals with Olga Nikolaevna I turned to her because of money problems and constant failures. It seemed that everything I touched was collapsing. Even my health began to fail. Olga Nikolaevna saw the road closures, made diagnostics and began the cleansing. After the first week I felt inner relief, and a month later I received a job offer that completely changed my life. She does everything with faith and light, very kindly, with prayers. Her fortune telling is accurate, without unnecessary things. I recommend her with all my heart! Contact: +380687014758

We were getting ready for the wedding. The hall was booked, the dress was hanging on the closet, the rings were in the box. And a month before the big day, he said, "I'm not sure. I'm leaving." I thought it was a prank. Or stress. But no. He left. To his ex. I stood by the window with the wedding ring in my hand and didn't understand - how? Why? For what? Everyone said, "Then it's not yours." But I knew - it was mine. It was just as if he had lost himself. Lily became a light in the darkness for me. She said, "Your destiny was stolen. But until he gets married, everything can be returned." We performed a ritual for 7 nights. I read spells, cried, fell asleep with his photo. On the 8th day, he wrote, "I can't live without you. Forgive me. I was blind." And a week later, he knelt down and asked me to marry him again. The wedding took place. Later. But for love. Lily, you were there at the most terrible moment of my life. I pray for you. Thank you. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433
