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

If someone had told me earlier that I'd turn to a clairvoyant, I would have laughed. But when my husband became cold, started working late, stopped talking to me, I felt like I was losing him. Lilya saw everything! She said there was negativity on him, that our family had been cursed. She cleansed him, gave him a talisman, and performed a ritual. Three days later (!) he himself said he wanted to mend things between us. It was as if a weight had been lifted from our souls. We bow deeply to you, Lilya!

I express my deep gratitude to the magician Alexander for his professionalism and effective assistance. His number is +380971792179. When I contacted him, I was living in Germany and couldn't come to an in-person meeting. I messaged him on WhatsApp. Alexander understood my situation – he consulted with me and performed the work remotely. This was no problem for him. He is a compassionate and kind person. A true clairvoyant and a powerful practitioner with a gift from a Higher Power. Even talking to him makes you feel better. The work he does is very effective. I literally felt it even from a distance. But most importantly, his abilities helped me solve a number of problems and bring my husband back. I recommend the magician Alexander to anyone seeking qualified and effective help.
You hold in your hands not just a text, but the key to the answers you've long sought. I am Lilia, a clairvoyant with a gift passed down to me through the female line. Since childhood, I have seen what is hidden from view and sensed what has not yet happened. Destiny, love, health, business, family plans, protection from negativity—I help where others shrug their shoulders. I bring loved ones back. Even when all seems lost, I restore connection, cleanse the couple's energy, remove external influences, and open the way to reunion. I help restore love, awaken feelings, and restore what seemed shattered. I don't just predict the future—I help change it. With the help of Tarot cards, energy practices, rituals, and clear inner vision, we find a way out of even the most difficult situations together. My consultations are not frightening predictions, but a path to awareness, clarity, and inner balance. Those who come to me are truly ready to hear the truth and change their lives. Everything you say will remain between us. I work only with pure energy, without black magic or manipulation. Only light, only truth. If you feel it's time to change something, write. I will help you hear your destiny. And if you feel pain and longing for your loved one, I will help you bring them back. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
I was at my wits' end when my husband left. Lilia performed several rituals for me and explained the importance of changing my energy and attitude toward the situation. I don't know what exactly worked, but after these practices, my husband and I entered a new phase—he started communicating more often, and then he came home. I'm sure the rituals played a role.
