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.

Review of clairvoyant Angelika – she helped me in a difficult situation

I decided to write my own review because I once searched for real reviews of clairvoyants and spent a lot of time reading forums. I was going through a difficult time: relationship problems, constant arguments with my loved one, and everything was heading towards a breakup. I didn't know what to do and accidentally found the contact information of clairvoyant Angelika. I wrote to her on Telegram at +15512229313. At first, I just wanted to know what she would say about my situation. Honestly, I was surprised – she immediately described many moments in my life that I hadn't even told her about. She said there was a lot of negativity between us and that was why everything was going wrong. Angelika did the work and gave me advice. Gradually, everything began to improve. Now we're back together, and our relationship has become much calmer. I'm very grateful to her for her help. If anyone is looking for a good clairvoyant, you can write to her on Telegram at +15512229313.
 

MAG ZAKHAR +380954248510

Magician Zakhar saved my family when I had no hope left for my wife's return. We'd been through a lot during our eight years of marriage, but our mutual feelings and commitment to understanding each other had always been our strength as a couple. Until one time. A time that almost became our family's last. It all started when misunderstandings had been building up for two or three months before our separation. There was tension and misunderstandings, but nothing critical. Then, one evening, I saw before me what felt like a stranger, not my beloved, looking at me with empty, cold, and indifferent eyes. She was completely emotionless and simply said she was leaving. She packed her things, called a taxi, and ran up the stairs without waiting for the elevator. As she left, she added that she wouldn't talk to me about anything except divorce. I was left alone in the apartment, surrounded by deafening silence. Then followed agonizing weeks of trying to write, call, and somehow communicate and find common ground. But she wouldn't communicate and only dryly said that everything was finally decided—only divorce. No argument worked. I was literally devastated and didn't know what to do. Feeling powerless, I began looking for unconventional solutions. I decided to turn to magic, to at least understand what had happened and not lose the chance to save my family. That's how I found the magician Zakhar's number +380954248510 and arranged for him to look into my situation and what could be done. I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar saw everything himself and described in detail what happened and how. He even described the scene of the breakup. It was as if he was standing there at that moment. He explained the options, and I asked him to help me. The work lasted about a month in total. Zakhar kept me updated on the process and gave me instructions on what would happen literally day by day. How happy I was when my wife called me for the first time, without any reason, and asked how I was doing! Even though it was a short conversation, my hopes soared. And then, one evening, closer to the time I'd agreed upon with Zakhar, what I'd been waiting for happened. Returning home, I saw the light in our apartment and my beloved's shadow on the curtains. She was watering the flowers on the windowsill. My heart literally started pounding, and I couldn't believe my happiness! I instantly flew to the apartment, started opening the door, and my wife met me at the threshold. Her eyes were full of love and warmth, tears and words about how she'd missed me terribly, how she'd thought about me, and how she realized she couldn't give up... It literally lifted me to seventh heaven! For a couple of weeks afterward, my wife and I occasionally discussed certain things to better understand each other and avoid hurting each other in the future. But the main thing was that my beloved was already there. Several years have passed since then, and my wife and I have not lost our understanding. I still communicate with Zakhar periodically and sometimes contact him about business matters.
 

Clairvoyant New York

Ladies, I want to share my sorrow and joy. My husband left me after 15 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and went to another woman, as if he'd been replaced—cold, distant, and completely oblivious to the children. I tried many, but only Maria immediately told me: he had a love spell, and it was done very badly. She worked with me remotely via Viber. What I liked was that there was no nefariousness, only white magic and prayers. Everything was very calm and safe. After two weeks, my husband started calling, and a month later he came home, begging for forgiveness on his knees. Now everything is fine with us, like a second honeymoon. If your family is falling apart, don't wait, message her on Viber +1 847 313 02 12. Maria, thank you so much for saving my happiness!
