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

The incredible Lily is a true miracle in the world of clairvoyance!
I want to share the most important story of my life, the one that changed everything. I thought I'd lost the man I loved forever. He left, and my heart was shattered into a thousand pieces. I tried everything: tears, prayers, turning to friends, and even rituals. But nothing helped. I felt helpless and alone, but at that moment, when there was no hope left, I came across Lilia. From the very first contact with her, I realized that she was more than just a clairvoyant—she was a woman with a unique gift and a deep soul. Lilia not only saw my pain but also penetrated the very essence of my experiences, telling me what was hidden even from myself. She explained to me the blocks standing between me and my man, what was preventing us from being together, and how I could change them. Her words were more than just consolation—they became the key that unlocked the heart of my beloved. Lilia gave me specific advice on how to change my inner energy and how to restore my relationship. She didn't promise miracles, but her confidence and accuracy in her predictions gave me the strength to act. I followed her recommendations, and a few weeks later, my man returned to my life. We found each other again, and our love became even stronger and deeper. I am sincerely grateful to Lilia for restoring my world. Thanks to her magic and incredible talent, I was able not only to bring back my loved one but also to learn to love myself, be confident, and happy. Inspired by her wisdom, I changed my life, and now everything seems possible. Lilia is more than just a specialist; she is a true sorceress who fills hearts with love and light. I thank her from the bottom of my heart! If you are at a crossroads and looking for answers, she knows exactly how to bring happiness back into your life.

When it seemed all was lost, Lilia didn't give up. She believed in our love, even when I didn't. Thanks to her, we are together again, and I am eternally grateful for her patience and tenderness.
Girls!!! I want to recommend a girl named Lilia to you, who has the ability to predict the future. Honestly, I've always been skeptical of such people. But when I turned to Lilia, she said things about the past that few people knew. And that's not all)) She can help with personal matters too... In general, I recommend Lilia... +380638055486 +19297133433
