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 did the diagnostics and immediately understood everything - this is where the real gift is +380984558444
I called Tatyana just to find out - "is there something on me", because lately it has been very difficult: depression, insomnia, anger at loved ones. She said right away from the photo: I have the evil eye through food (a treat from a woman whom I would not even suspect!) and a strong energy leak. I am in shock. She described everything, nothing extra, everything is to the point. She did the work - I felt better on the day of the cleansing. Sleep was restored, I became calmer, my husband said - "it's like you again." Now if I feel something is wrong - only to her. She is very kind, clear, real. Thank you, Tatyana. Her phone number: +380984558444. Take care of yourselves, girls, and do not hesitate to ask for help!
I want to express my deep gratitude to Lilia for her help and compassion. At a time when my strength was waning and I had almost come to terms with the fact that my loved one was gone forever, it was Lilia who helped me believe that things could still change. With her support and guidance, I was able not only to bring my loved one back, but also to rethink my attitude toward myself and our relationship. Thanks to her, we are back together—and now we have a different, more conscious and mature relationship. Lilia, thank you for the sincerity, warmth, and strength you give to people. You don't just help "get people back," you restore their hearts. This is priceless. When life is hard and you don't know how to find a way out, you turn to people with supernatural powers for help! I FOUND SUCH A WITCH!!!! She's VERY POWERFUL AND KNOWS HER WORK!!! I honestly doubted it before calling, but then she started talking to me about my first husband, about my accident too. In general, she said powerful things. But most importantly, she WAS ABLE TO GET MY HUSBAND BACK AND DRIVE AWAY A RIVAL!!!!! EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE HERE and I recommend it to anyone who really needs help!!! Write her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
You hold in your hands not just a text, but the key to the answers you've long sought. I am Lilia, a clairvoyant with a gift passed down to me through the female line. Since childhood, I have seen what is hidden from view and sensed what has not yet happened. Destiny, love, health, business, family plans, protection from negativity—I help where others shrug their shoulders. I bring loved ones back. Even when all seems lost, I restore connection, cleanse the couple's energy, remove external influences, and open the way to reunion. I help restore love, awaken feelings, and restore what seemed shattered. I don't just predict the future—I help change it. With the help of Tarot cards, energy practices, rituals, and clear inner vision, we find a way out of even the most difficult situations together. My consultations are not frightening predictions, but a path to awareness, clarity, and inner balance. Those who come to me are truly ready to hear the truth and change their lives. Everything you say will remain between us. I work only with pure energy, without black magic or manipulation. Only light, only truth. If you feel it's time to change something, write. I will help you hear your destiny. And if you feel pain and longing for your loved one, I will help you bring them back. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
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).
