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

When my boyfriend suddenly and without explanation broke up with me, I felt like I couldn't bear it. It was a huge blow; I was devastated, lost, and unsure how to move on. My tears wouldn't dry, and my heart ached with pain. But a clue as to how to fix everything unexpectedly came to me. During a layover at Frankfurt Airport on a flight to Warsaw, when I decided to visit my parents for a little distraction, I struck up a conversation with a woman on the same flight. Seeing how I was suffering, she treated me with compassion and offered moral support. She shared various curious incidents and experiences from her life and recommended that I consult the clairvoyant magician Zakhar about my situation. I decided to give it a try and wrote down his phone number. I can confidently say it was the right decision. Zakhar proved himself to be an exceptionally powerful clairvoyant, capable of deeply understanding situations and finding solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Thanks to his help and magical practice, my boyfriend returned to me after some time. More importantly, he proposed to me. We are happily married. I know that when traditional methods fail, unconventional solutions come to the rescue. Therefore, I sincerely recommend the magician Zakhar to anyone who needs truly effective and efficient help with personal matters. You can text or call Zakhar at +380954248510 (Viber, WhatsApp).

I still can't believe my life has changed so dramatically for the better. Before turning to the magician Zakhar, I felt as if someone had sucked all my energy out. Constant failures, unexplained illnesses, arguments with loved ones. All of this was literally suffocating me. I was in despair when I accidentally found Zakhar's contact information. I messaged him on Viber and asked for a diagnosis. I was truly amazed by his ability to accurately describe my circumstances and inner state without asking any questions. His diagnosis was so accurate that it left no doubt about his psychic abilities and great power. I asked him to help me. Zakhar described possible solutions to the problem. We agreed. Over the next month, he conducted work using magical practices. Results were noticeable within the first few weeks. My overall health improved, my emotional balance was restored, and previously existing barriers in various areas of my life began to disappear. By the end of the month, significant positive changes had occurred. Everything at work has returned to normal, and my relationship with my loved one has become more harmonious. Overall, I've gained a sense of inner stability and well-being. I'd like to highlight Zakhar's high level of professionalism and exceptional abilities. I highly recommend his services to anyone facing similar problems and seeking an effective solution. Zakhar's number is +380954248510.
