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.

I am very grateful to Evdokia +79304443481 WhatsApp

Guys, I turned to many people, but I didn’t see any particular results…. I really needed help, I went to old women, fortune tellers, but none of it worked for me. I needed to get my husband back into the family. We had a good, happy family, many people even envied us. But one day my husband began to change dramatically, he became irritable, only negative from him. He began to sleep separately, I tried to talk to him, to understand what was happening to him. But he didn’t make contact. One evening he came home from work and said, “I’m leaving you,” without a reason or explanation…. He packed his things and left. I was left alone with the child, something went wrong, but I didn’t understand what was wrong with him. I was in tears and depressed, I started going to fortune tellers, ordering rituals, but without results. Until I found the number of one woman. I called her on WhatsApp, did diagnostics, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by her words. She said such things about us, real situations. She sees from the photo, the information comes to her, but she also looks at the cards and wax additionally. Her name is Evdokia, she knows her business, I asked her for help, and I did not regret it. The person really has a gift! She gave me the result in a matter of days, everything as promised. I am very grateful to her, a very clever woman. I will recommend her to everyone. This is not an advertisement, I am a review and gratitude for the good work done. We are together again and happy.

Zakhar gave me back the meaning of life and the belief that even from the darkest depths one can emerge into the light.

When my boyfriend left, I didn't know how to move on. I was left alone in New York, and I wasn't prepared for this at all. My heart was breaking with pain, and time was running out. The savings I'd accumulated in Florida were melting like dew in the sun, and I even considered leaving the US to be with my mother in Italy, where she'd lived for the past three years. It seemed all was lost. That's when I stumbled upon the contacts of the magician Zakhar. I was worried about whether he'd be able to see my situation remotely, but distance wasn't a problem for him. My very first conversation with Zakhar amazed me. He saw everything down to the last detail without asking anything. His calm and confidence gave me hope. He said he could help, and I grasped at that straw. Magic... I always thought it was something from movies, but Zakhar showed me that real magic is faith and the ability to channel energy. And a miracle happened! My beloved came back. He realized how much he needed me and that our breakup was a mistake. And then... then he proposed! It was like a dream come true. Today we are married, and every day I thank fate and, of course, Zakhar for our happiness with my beloved. We have a beautiful daughter. Our family is the most precious thing I have. Zakhar gave me back my meaning in life and the belief that even from the darkest depths, you can emerge into the light. I advise you not to despair and don't be shy about asking for help. Zakhar's magician's number is +380954248510. I communicated with him via WhatsApp.

Lilya, you are strong.

I turned to Lilya as my last hope. She conducted a powerful practice, and within a week he started contacting me. And then—a meeting, a conversation, a hug... It all seemed like a snap. Mysticism? Perhaps. The main thing is, he's back. Lilya, you are powerful. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
