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

Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength and real help.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia for her help and support during the most difficult period of my life. When it seemed that the family was falling apart and there was no hope left, it was Lilia who helped bring harmony and love back into our relationship. My husband left the family, but after the ritual and her wise advice, everything began to change for the better. Lilia works very subtly, with soul and attention. She immediately sensed the root of the problem, explained what needed to be done, and supported me at every stage. Now peace, love, and mutual understanding reign in our home again, and my relationship with my husband has become even stronger than before. Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength, and genuine help. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I don’t know what Lilya did, but I know one thing - she brought back to me the person I love more than anything in the world.
I came to Lilya just to talk—I needed someone to listen. But she heard much more than words. She saw my pain and told me that my husband was still there spiritually, that the connection between us was not broken. A week later, he showed up at my work. He simply came up, hugged me, and said, "I want to go home." I don't know what Lilya did, but I know one thing—she brought back to me the person I love most in the world. She can be reached on Viber and WhatsApp: +380638055486
Coding for alcohol addiction Over the years of working in the United States and Europe, Dr. Natalia Schmidt's name has become well known to those seeking not only medical help, but also true relief from alcohol addiction. For many years she has been helping people return to sobriety, confidence and harmony with themselves. Her methodology combines the traditions of classical psychiatry with modern techniques from the American school of hypnosis. The foundation of her approach is the famous coding. Dr. Schmidt goes back to the roots: back in 1912, the eminent psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev described the phenomenon of emotional stress therapy, and decades later, psychiatrist Alexander Dovzhenko developed a method for overcoming alcohol addiction known as coding. Dr. Natalia Schmidt developed these ideas, combining them with modern knowledge about the functioning of the brain and subconscious. Her unique coding system is based on identifying the root cause, the internal psychological trauma that influenced alcohol addiction. Coding is a kind of mental reset and reinforcement of a sober lifestyle. The treatment process takes place in a calm, trusting atmosphere, and is strictly confidential. The main thing is the result. The person stops being trapped by addiction and regains control of their life. Many remember these meetings with gratitude, calling them "the beginning of a new life." In addition to treating alcohol addiction, Dr. Schmidt successfully assists with smoking cessation. She also helps with stress, anxiety disorders, insomnia, phobias, and loss of confidence. She uses psychiatric hypnosis and emotional adjustment techniques to help restore inner balance and self-confidence. Appointments are available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends, making them especially convenient for those living the fast pace of a big city and traveling from other states and even countries. If you're looking for professional help to overcome alcohol addiction, Dr. Natalia Schmidt can help. You'll be admired again, just like before you were called an alcoholic. Phone number for appointment: 917-656-6190 The interview was recorded by Marina Lagunova, New York
