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.

My children are happy again

When my husband left, I didn't know how to tell my children. My eldest son started to withdraw, and my youngest daughter cried constantly. I wasn't eating, sleeping, or living. I turned to Lilya on a colleague's recommendation. She worked with photographs, performed powerful rituals and cleansings, and most importantly, she provided emotional support. My husband returned three weeks later and said he felt like he'd woken up. Now we're a family, together, like before. I thank God every day for finding Lilya. I RECOMMEND LILYA TO EVERYONE!!!

Lilia is a true professional in her field.

My husband left me for another woman. It was painful, but I couldn't accept it - I knew he was my man. A friend recommended Lilia. I didn't believe in esotericism, but from the first consultation she won me over. She didn't promise a miracle in one day, but she acted precisely, step by step. After 10 days, my husband returned. Not just returned, but consciously, with remorse. We are now restoring our relationship, and, honestly, everything has become even better. Lilia helped not only to bring him back, but also me - confident, calm, real. (+380638055486 WhatsApp Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
 

How a Clairvoyant Brought My Relationship Back! My Best Experience

I couldn't mend my relationship with my loved one for a long time, and it seemed that everything was already lost. I turned to a clairvoyant, and she not only accurately described the situation, but also suggested ways to restore harmony. A few days later, I felt changes: we started communicating again, and the relationship began to improve! She also removed the negativity from me that was preventing me from living. I am very glad that I met such a specialist. Her number is +16463779379, if anyone is looking for help.
 

Clairvoyant Galina Vishnevskaya helped at a distance

I never thought I would face betrayal, but it happened. My husband found another woman, and I felt like he was out of his mind. Galina Vishnevskaya confirmed my suspicions - he was under a love spell. She performed a ritual to remove this influence and break the connection with the rival. Within a month, my husband realized his mistake, and two months later, he completely broke off relations with that woman. Now he is with me again, loves and appreciates me as before. I don’t know what I would do without Galina’s help! You can make an appointment for a personal meeting by calling 84957721881 or remotely by calling 89687419383.
