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 came to Lilia broken, humiliated and having lost faith.
I came to Lilia broken, humiliated, and having lost my faith. She saw my pain immediately. She performed rituals after which it was as if my heart was restored—alive and warm. A week later, my husband stood at my door with flowers and tears in his eyes. He said he couldn't live without me. These rituals became a miracle in my life. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
Feedback about clairvoyant Daria - who has contacted her?
Ladies, I'd like to share some information about the tarot reader and clairvoyant Daria. It's very difficult to find a truly competent specialist these days—there are a lot of big promises, but little concrete information. Daria offers remote consultations (WhatsApp). According to reviews, she carefully analyzes the situation, asks clarifying questions, and provides a detailed reading. People especially often turn to her for love issues—when relationships are at an impasse or it's difficult to see the future. People also write that she works with energy practices and helps people understand feelings of "negativity" or a lingering bad streak. Importantly, communication is free of intimidation and pressure. +1 646 377 93 79 (WhatsApp) +380 99 682 62 98
Lilya is a person who entered our lives at the most difficult moment.
Lilya is a person who entered our lives at the most difficult moment. We did not talk for weeks, quarrels became the norm. It felt like everything was lost. But Lilya helped us see each other not as enemies, but as people who once loved. She subtly and carefully helped to untangle the tangle of grievances, taught us to let go of the old and fill the house with light. Now I look at my husband with gratitude, not with reproach. Thank you, Lilya, for being there. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
It would have been different in another life when my friend, Natalya, took the speeches, took the children and just went. She filed for separation, and it seemed to me that my world was destroyed. I spent months not finding my place, trying to talk to her, but she was like a wall. Our children, son and daughter, also suffered. I realized this and felt hopeless. Then I decided to go wild to Andriy’s molfar. I arrived before the new one, and this man... immediately cut me to the bone. He didn’t ask me about anything, but found out what had happened, naming names and important dates. This was not just hostile, but kindly shocking. Andriy waited a moment to help, but went ahead, which would be required at any time and in my opinion. Believe in Andriy’s strength, after such a diagnosis, it was lost, and often not food, fragments of smut, so that there was a result. Prote everything was supposed to be swedishly thought out. For many years now, we have been encouraging contacts via WhatsApp at Andria +380932169225. We conducted singing rituals that were based on ancient magical traditions and gave me the benefit of my behavior. After a couple of years, Natalya started working on the phone. Just like that. Vona said that she wanted to get together. We talked, and she cried, saying that she herself didn’t understand why she had done this, so that no one would hang around her. A week later she turned home, and we began to live together. Our hundreds have become more valuable, no matter what. Molfar Andriy took over our homeland. I will forever be grateful for those who turned me away from my squad and my children. If necessary, don’t waste an hour and write to Andriy at your number. We will definitely show you how best to do it, or even detail how you can ask for help.
When you've lived with someone for 12 years, shared every day, every trouble - you don't think that one day they'll just leave. Without explanations. Without tears. Just say: "I need to live for myself." I was left alone. With the kids. With his cup, his toothbrush, with an empty chair at dinner. And he was in a new life. With a new woman. I didn't want to live. Really. Only the kids held me. But my heart was dying every day. I found out about Lilia in a chat where women shared stories. Someone wrote: "If no one can help - write to Lilia." I wrote. She answered right away. As if she knew how I cried at night. As if she'd already seen everything. We started. Rituals, spells, cleansings. I didn't understand what I was doing, but I did everything. Two weeks later - a call. Him. His voice was shaking. "I miss you. I realized everything. I lost the most precious thing. I'm a fool." He returned home after 3 days. Now he says that he was in some kind of fog. As if someone took his eyes off his family. Liliya, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here anymore. You didn't just help me, you saved me. Thank you.
