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

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Lilia Pavlovna, a person with a big heart and amazing understanding. When my husband left me for another woman, it was a real blow. I didn't know what to do or how to move on. At that moment, I was advised to contact Lilia, and I haven't regretted it. She helped me understand the reasons behind what was happening and gave me wise advice that literally opened my eyes. After talking with her, I felt relief, calm, and the strength to fight for my happiness. Over time, the situation changed—my husband returned, our relationship improved, and our home became warm and peaceful again. Thank you, Lilia Pavlovna, for helping people not give up and find a way out when it seems all is lost. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
I came to Lilya in a state of complete devastation. My husband had left, saying he'd "outgrown his family" and "needed something else." I cried every day, lost my appetite, and lost my purpose in life. Lilya listened, felt my pain, and immediately said, "This isn't the end. You've just drifted apart—in spirit. But that can be restored." At first, I didn't believe it. But she worked with me, gave me precise advice, performed an energy cleansing, and helped me get back to myself. Three weeks later, he contacted me himself. A month later, we were sitting at the same table and talking honestly for the first time in a long time. I sincerely believe that without Lilya, none of this would have worked out. Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
