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

Lily helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling.
I came to Lilia when my husband and I were separated, like two strangers. Lilia helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling. We both began to change. And one day he simply said, "Let's try again." We are a family again. And I thank her every day for the light she brought to my heart. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant.
I contacted Lilia during a very difficult time in my life. My husband left our family—one day, he simply said he "stopped feeling" and packed his things. I couldn't believe that everything we'd built over the years was falling apart so easily. We didn't speak for almost a month, he ignored my messages, and then I found out he had someone else. On the advice of a close friend, I decided to contact Lilia. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but already during the first consultation, she told me things no one else knew—details of our relationship, my state, my inner fears. It was astounding. Lilia performed an energy cleansing, removing the negativity that, according to her, surrounded us, and performed a ritual to restore connection. She also gave me recommendations on how to behave, how to work on myself, and which words are important. Ten days later, my husband contacted me himself. At first, just a message. Then a meeting. And three weeks later, he came home. Now we are together, and I feel that he has truly rethought a lot. I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant. She's a guide who works with the soul. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
My wife, who is twenty years younger than me, left the family with our daughter, succumbing to pressure from her mother. This was my second marriage, and unfortunately, my mother-in-law was categorically opposed to our relationship from the start. The situation seemed hopeless. Just when I had lost all hope, I turned to the magician Alexander. I sent him a WhatsApp message at +380971792179 and arranged for a diagnosis. Alexander didn't ask any questions and asked me not to reveal anything. I was so impressed when he told me everything, right down to names and other details no one else could know! I literally begged him to help me. Alexander agreed to carry out the necessary work. And the results were immediate. Less than a month later, my wife returned to me. I remember how she walked into the house, put down her bag, and our daughter ran to me as fast as she could and hugged me tightly. And at that moment, I knew I had won. And then came another surprise. My mother-in-law, who constantly turned my wife against me, suddenly reversed her behavior and gave us an apartment, which we now rent out. She said we deserved happiness and wanted to make amends, and the extra rent wouldn't hurt. I'm still in shock and can't wrap my head around it. Alexander truly works miracles! That's why I recommend everyone contact him if they need help.
I didn't believe anyone could help when my family was falling apart. My husband had grown cold, distant, and I was already preparing divorce papers. But on a friend's advice, I turned to the clairvoyant Lila. I'll be honest: at first, I was skeptical. But Lila didn't promise miracles; she simply said, "If you want to fight, I'll help." Thanks to her advice, cleansings, and energetic support, the situation began to change. My husband began to care again, and we started talking for real. Now we're together, and I'm grateful to Lila for helping us stay together. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
How to find a reliable clairvoyant who works through WhatsApp and helps in a helpful way
I was embarrassed to know anyone. Make friends. Tell yourself. Hello, my man is making me happy. And more than once. I endured it for a long time. I thought I had changed. I thought the child would fix everything. I thought that just a little more... and I would become more beautiful. Ale hasn't gotten any prettier. My heart darkened. There was nothing in my eyes. I stopped dreaming. She fell into complete apathy. I couldn’t eat. I didn’t want to sleep. And the smut - I stopped loving myself. I'll cover it. On the job - mercy. At home there are screams. In the middle there is emptiness. And just one evening, when everyone had fallen asleep, I simply typed into Google: “What should I do, because I don’t want to live?” ... And among the results I came up with a modest comment about old grandmother Elizaveta Andrievna, how “the heart feels” via phone. I didn’t know what was a myth or reality. Hello, I wrote. “I feel really bad. I'm broken. Can you help me?" And she confirmed. May I please. “I’m old, don’t worry, God still gives me strength. Write me your name, photo and date. I tell you." We started chatting through WhatsApp. Vaughn did not care what had happened - she said: “You are burdened with pain, pain, images, and the feeling of being late. They “shut you down” so you don’t have any joy. Hello, I’ll open it.” I cried when she said prayers. Just through the phone. There was so much hostility that I wanted to pat my head like my mother. What do you want to do with your hand? Well, I’m not alone. Over the course of several days I learned something new. Otherwise, the little thing turned around forcibly. Later. I still. And then, when the little one’s heart calmed down, grandma said: “You will continue to be happy. Ale from the beginning - a warm heart. Talk to my daughter Lyuba. This will help you know love - straight, pure. Look, I’m only so young.” I Lyuba became like my sister. Vaughn directed. I explained. I was encouraging. And today I am no longer the same person I was then. I am strong. Calm. Alive. If you read a whole series at a time and understand the meaning, just know that you are not alone. And people who don’t help for pennies. And for the sake of the soul. Call +38 066 154 23 67
