New York Film Festival

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.

He went to my friend. I wanted to disappear...

Anya and I had been friends for 14 years. Since we went to school together. She was at our house, we went to the country together, drank wine in the kitchen and shared the most personal things. And then... my husband left for her. I didn't even understand at first. Anya became strange, distant. And then he said: "We love each other. I'm sorry, Inna." I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. I just sat and stared at the wall. My heart wasn't beating. The children asked: "Where is dad?" - and I didn't know what to answer. Lily appeared as a sign. I saw her page by chance. I just clicked. And when she looked at the situation, she said: "This is not love. This is dirty envy and influence. We will take this off. He will come back if you are ready to forgive." I doubted. I was angry. Broken. But I agreed. And you know what? Two weeks later, he was on his knees. He said that he had gone crazy, that he was living someone else's life. He cried, held my hand. I forgave. Yes. Not right away. But I forgave. For the sake of the children. For our sake. And the "friend" was left with nothing. Thank you, Lilia. You are not just a clairvoyant. You are a woman with a huge soul. I thank you with all my heart. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433

Lilia helped not only to get her husband back, but also to save herself

When my husband said he was leaving because he "didn't love me anymore," I collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, the children saw me falling apart. I looked for help everywhere. Lilia immediately said: these are not his words. He didn't leave on his own. I didn't believe in such things then, but everything she said matched. She started working: she performed rituals, cleansing, gave me meditations, advice on how to restore my inner state. My husband returned after 3 weeks. He himself said: "It was like I was in a fog all this time." Now we are together again. But the main thing is that Lilia not only brought back my husband, she brought me back. I feel like a strong woman again. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
 

I thank Lilia for her help and support. It was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home.

When I turned to clairvoyant Lilia, my life was in turmoil. My husband and I had drifted apart so far that even normal conversations were difficult. I felt like I was losing what was most precious to me, but I didn't know where to start to fix it. Lilia immediately put me at ease—calm and attentive, she seemed to see what I couldn't understand. Her advice and explanations helped me understand my emotions and what was happening between us. Following her recommendations, a warm energy began to fill our home: it was as if we remembered why we chose each other. Our relationship became softer and calmer. We began discussing important things again, making time for each other, and caring about each other's feelings. The tension that had plagued us for months gradually disappeared. Now I feel much more confident and calm, and harmony reigns in our family once again. I thank Lilia for her help and support. This was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does.
