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

Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness I was afraid I'd forever belong to. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I thought I died the day my husband left. For seven months I existed, but didn't live... an empty house, an empty bed, an empty soul. I cried so much that my voice was gone. I was silent so much that my heart screamed. Everything was crumbling. When I came to the molfarka VARYA, I was broken. I didn't believe in myself, or in love, or in miracles. Varya simply put her hand on mine and said quietly: You will still see the light. I didn't believe it... but I grabbed onto her words like a drowning man grabs the air. And suddenly everything began to change. First inside me. Then around me. And then... after seven long months of silence, he knocked on the door. My husband. He stood there with red eyes and said: Forgive me. I want to go home. I fell on his chest and cried like I'd never cried in my life. This was the return of not just a man, this was the return of my destiny. Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness to which I was already afraid to belong forever.

Have you ever experienced something that made you barely breathe? Yes, I did, I fell into such a depression that only the WITCH LILY could save me. I dedicated my entire life to my husband and children. We were happily married for almost nine years. Then some woman showed up and cast a love spell on my husband. There were arguments and fights at home, and then he just up and left us. A friend recommended Lily. I was honestly skeptical; I didn't believe she could help. But when Lily began speaking to me about my past and various situations in my life, I realized she was a true professional. LILIA, I AM SO GREATLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO GET MY HUSBAND BACK TO HIS FAMILY. WE ARE HAPPY. Sometimes I turn to Lilia for advice. I ONLY RECOMMEND LILIA. I'll leave her phone number for anyone who needs it. WhatsApp: +380 93 266 5520. USA: +1 (929) 713-3433.

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.
When I turned to Lilia Pavlovna, I was in complete chaos, both mentally and at home. My husband had left, there were fights at home, and everything was falling apart at work. I no longer knew where to go or who to turn to. But Lilia saw everything herself, without my words, and told me about my life, my past, and the people around me. Everything matched up down to the last detail! She performed her rituals, cleansed me and everything around me. Since then, a lot has changed: my husband has returned, our relationship has improved, and there is peace and warmth at home again. Even my work has improved: I have gained confidence, new opportunities, as if everything had just fallen into place! Lilia Pavlovna is a truly gifted person. She helps sincerely, from the heart, and most importantly, there really is a result. I am writing this review with gratitude and from the bottom of my heart. May she continue to help those who have lost hope. Here are her contacts: +380 93 266 5520 (WhatsApp) +19297133433 (USA)
