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 magician Alexander helped me put my life in order.
The magician Alexander helped me get my life in order. At one point, I was beset by troubles and trials from all sides—it was enough to make me howl. It was nonstop, one disaster after another, and one failure after another. Everything was breaking, spoiling, getting upset, and never coming together. From the smallest to the largest. I couldn't believe it was happening to me. Everything was falling apart: my work, my social life, my health. It was like an endless bad movie mocking me. While I still had the strength, I even laughed about it, but after a while it wasn't funny anymore, and I started thinking hard. It couldn't be that my life had just gone downhill. The magician Alexander helped me find the cause and fix it. I'm happy that when I came across his number +380971792179, I took the plunge and wrote him on WhatsApp asking to see what was wrong with me. This decision literally saved me. Alexander is a powerful clairvoyant and told me everything about my situation, right down to the names, without asking me anything. He offered me options and a way to deal with it. I was amazed by his abilities and immediately asked for his help. The work lasted several weeks. During the process, my life began to improve before my very eyes. I felt like I could breathe again, and my luck had returned. Alexander always kept me informed of what was happening and how the process was progressing. I now remember that period as a nightmare that lasted forever. I am infinitely grateful to Alexander. I recommend everyone contact him if they are facing difficulties.
How a clairvoyant helped bring back love and restore relationships
When my relationship with my partner became very strained, I didn't know what to do. I consulted a clairvoyant, and she immediately saw that our relationship wasn't just plagued by problems, but also by negativity that was preventing us from being together. She helped me get rid of this negativity, performed a cleansing ritual, and literally within a few days, we began communicating like before. Everything improved, and I felt harmony in our relationship again. I am so grateful for her help and support! Contact for an appointment: +16463779379
I have three children. When my husband left, I was left alone with them. He went to a young girl, said he was tired. Lilya helped me understand what was happening. She explained that there is energy manipulation, and suggested a ritual. Honestly, I did not know what to expect. But there was a result - after 2 weeks he began to communicate with the eldest son, then he came to the birthday of the youngest ... and stayed. Now we go to a family psychologist, he regrets what happened. I know that without Lily's help we would not be together.

If you've lost everything, don't give up. Turn to Matrona.
I never thought I would write something like this. Men aren't supposed to cry, to talk about their feelings... But I sobbed. Like a child. Because I lost the most precious thing: my family. My wife, my children, my home, my warmth, my meaning in life. I destroyed it all with my own hands. I fell in love with another woman. I thought it was love. But it turned out to be emptiness. A lie, an illusion. My wife didn't forgive me. She left. She took the children. I was left alone, in silence, full of guilt. I gave up. I tried to get her back, but she didn't even want to talk to me. I ruined everything. And then I decided to take a desperate step... I wrote to Matrona. I found her on the internet and at first I was even ashamed to admit why I was writing. And she listened. Without reproaches, without ridicule. She simply said: If you are ready to fight... I will help. She worked with me, with my energies, with my soul. It was as if she opened my eyes. I began to truly change. Not in words, but in thoughts, in actions. I began to pray. I waited, I believed. And a miracle happened. My wife responded to my message for the first time. Then we met. She said she felt that I had become different. It was as if an invisible force had pushed aside the wall between us. Two months later, she returned home. With children. With tears. With love. Matrona, you saved my family. You saved me. I don’t know how to thank you. I just pray for you every night and tell others, if you have lost everything, don’t give up. Turn to her. As long as your heart beats, it’s not too late. Her number is +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
