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

We lived together for 12 years. Home, kids, memories… And then he said, “I don’t love you anymore.” He just packed his suitcase and left. I couldn’t breathe. I cried at night. I hid from the kids. And then they sent me Lily’s profile. I just wrote, “He left, help me…” Lily said, “Give me time. You’ll still walk hand in hand with him.” And I don’t know what she did… but a week later he was kneeling in front of me. He said, “I’ve gone crazy, forgive me. I love you.” Lily, you changed my destiny. I’m a wife again. I’m happy again. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
Lily is a magic that I didn't believe in, but she brought back the love of my life!
I never thought I'd find myself in this situation. My heart was broken, and life felt meaningless. The man I loved had left, and I was ready to give up. It felt like everything was over. He became cold and distant, and I was losing myself, losing hope. At that moment, when I no longer knew how to fight, someone advised me to turn to Lilia. She was my last hope, and I didn't know what to expect. But from the first moment I spoke with her, I realized she wasn't just a clairvoyant, but a true woman with a powerful gift, capable of working miracles. Lilia was able to see all the hidden reasons that were destroying our relationship. She didn't just describe the situation, but also showed me how I could reconnect with my man, regain his love and trust. She said that love could be restored, but only if I changed myself and my inner energy. I followed her every piece of advice, even when doubts overcame me. But Lilia was so sure that I couldn't help but believe her. With her help, I understood how important it is not to lose yourself in a relationship, how to learn to let go of the past and not be afraid to open up again. And now, a few weeks later, the very man I had almost buried in my heart returned! He came as if nothing had happened and fell in love with me again. I will never forget the moment when he said: "I missed you. You have become different, and I want to be with you too." Lilia is not just a clairvoyant, she is a sorceress who brought me back to life. She was able to see the light in my torn heart and guide me to happiness. I am endlessly grateful to her! If you are looking for answers, faith and real magic, you need to turn to her. I can no longer imagine my life without her. She brought back not only my man, but also my happiness! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).

Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength and genuine help.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia for her help and support during the most difficult period of my life. When it seemed that the family was falling apart and there was no hope left, it was Lilia who helped bring harmony and love back into our relationship. My husband left the family, but after the ritual and her wise advice, everything began to change for the better. Lilia works very subtly, with soul and attention. She immediately sensed the root of the problem, explained what needed to be done, and supported me at every stage. Now peace, love, and mutual understanding reign in our home again, and my relationship with my husband has become even stronger than before. Thank you, dear Lilia, for your kind heart, strength, and genuine help. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
