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

Review of a clairvoyant – she helped me get my loved one back
I want to leave a review about a wonderful clairvoyant and tarot reader whom I turned to during a very difficult time. My relationship with my loved one was crumbling, and there was a lot of pain, hurt, and misunderstanding. I found this woman by chance, through a recommendation. She is very kind and attentive, and immediately understood my situation, as if she knew everything in advance. She did a tarot reading and then removed the negativity that, as it turned out, was interfering with our relationship. Two weeks later, my loved one contacted me, and we made up. Things are much better now! Here's her number: +1 (646) 377-9379 – I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just a "chat."
My name is Alina. I am 34 years old. I would never have thought that I would write something like this, but if at least one woman who is now in hell, like I was then, sees this and believes it, then it was not in vain. We were together for 6 years. Difficult, but real. With fire, with love, with plans for a house, children, old age. And then... He just left. Said: "I need space." And silence. No call, no "how are you", no "sorry". A couple of weeks later I found out - he had another. Younger. Cheerful. Without my "hang-ups". I was dying every day. Didn't eat. Didn't sleep. Went to work like a shadow. Mom cried, looking at me. I prayed. I wrote to him - he read and was silent. And then I came across Lilia. I don't know what prompted me to write to her. It was just as if something inside said: "This is your last chance." She did not promise miracles. She spoke calmly. As if she knew my pain. She said: "He didn't leave. He was taken away. His soul is reaching out to you. But you must stand up and fight." We started working. Tears, candles, prayers, rituals. The pain became even greater - as if everything was opened up anew. And suddenly... After 9 days, he wrote. And on the 13th day he stood at the door. With wet eyes. "I don't know what happened to me. As if I was sleeping. I remembered everything. I understood everything. Only next to you am I real." We are together again. We sleep hugging. We cook dinner together. Every day he repeats that he loves me. Thank you, Lilia. You are not just a clairvoyant. You are my savior. Thank you for being there. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433
