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

Thank you, Lilia, for the hope and love that you helped bring back!
When I turned to Lilia, my soul was broken... My husband left, the relationship was destroyed, and I did not know how to live on. Lilia immediately felt my pain, told me everything without unnecessary words - as if she saw through my life. A few days later, amazing things began to happen: my husband wrote himself, then called, and a week later we were already sitting together in the kitchen and talking heart to heart. Now we are together again, as if everything is starting from scratch. Thank you, Lilia, for the hope and for the love that you helped bring back!

I am very surprised by her strength and professionalism, she is a person with a capital letter!!!
Hey guys, I want to tell you my story and thank the person who helped me and my family! Seven months ago, my husband suddenly started changing, beyond recognition. Friends and family were surprised what was happening to him. I started withdrawing from me, and the children began to irritate him! As a result, he left us and blocked me. I was in tears and started calling every magician and fortune teller I could get help. But everything was to no avail... Until I found Bella, a very nice girl and a very good magician. I had a diagnosis from her and was amazed by her words, everything she said was so spot on, describing people's names and situations. What I realized was that she would definitely help me. I did everything she told me, strictly according to her instructions. And within the time frame she said, she brought my husband back to the family, the same man he used to be. I am very amazed by her strength and professionalism, she is a real Person!!! +380634300493 Bella Telegram. Thank you, dear, for everything you have done for me and my loved ones.
When my husband left, I was in despair. It seemed like my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried everything...talking, persuading, friends' advice, but nothing helped. Then I decided to turn to Raisa. I'll be honest: at first I was skeptical, but her rituals really do work! After her help, everything began to change literally before my eyes. My husband, who hadn't even wanted to talk to me, suddenly took the initiative, wrote, called, and started looking for meetings. And a short time later, he returned home, and I felt loved again. These rituals seemed to open his eyes and lifted the coldness that had stood between us. Now our family is once again filled with peace, love, and happiness. I thank Raisa with all my heart for her help and for bringing back what's most precious to me—my husband and family. Her power and rituals are a true miracle!

I turned to clairvoyant Lilia on a friend's recommendation when my relationship was about to fall apart. I didn't expect her words to have such a profound impact. After her consultation, I became calmer, learned to respond appropriately to many situations, and within just a couple of weeks, my husband and I began to grow closer. Now our home is warm and peaceful again. Thank you, Lilia, for your support! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
