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

I love my husband very much; we've been together for 16 years. I never would have thought that someone could cast a spell on our family. He's not an easy man, but I fell in love with him for it. A year ago, I noticed changes in his behavior; he started treating me coldly and aggressively. We started arguing, and he declared that he no longer loved me and wanted to leave. I couldn't stand it and decided to find someone who could help me. I found Lilia on a forum. I didn't believe in fortune-telling, but the things Lilia told me about me and my past—I had no choice but to believe them. And for good reason! Thanks to her cleansing and rituals, she was able to restore his love. I don't know if it's a miracle or not, but Lilia is a very powerful clairvoyant. I'm writing here because I promised to give a review, and I recommend Lilia to anyone who really needs help. Here are her WhatsApp contacts: +380 93 266 5520 USA: +1 (929) 713-3433
Huge thanks to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!!
A huge thank you to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!! She has the gift of clairvoyance and helps with love affairs. My mother went to her and she saved her from a curse, so I decided to turn to her too, and it was a good decision. Firstly, she sees the past, the present, and your problem (my mother and I didn't say anything to her; she told us all the details herself). Secondly, she cleanses people and removes negativity. And she helped me overcome loneliness and brought my husband back to the family. I recommend her a hundred times over and will continue to recommend her to everyone. I will leave her contact information: +380 93 266 5520 (WhatsApp) +1 (929) 713-3433 - Lilia (USA)
I turned to different people, but only Lilia really helped.
I reached out to a variety of people, but only Lilia truly helped. She didn't promise the impossible; she simply said, "Give me some time." And indeed, within a few days, my husband started texting me, then came home. It's a true miracle! Thank you, Lilia, for your kindness and strength!

I still can't hold back my tears when I recall the day I turned to Varya, a molfarka. My family was crumbling before my eyes: my husband had left me for another woman, there were constant arguments at home, and despair and emptiness filled my soul. It seemed there was no hope left. But Varya saw everything for herself, and without asking any questions, she explained my situation as if she'd known us all her life. She pointed out the causes of our problems, spoke about the negativity that surrounded our family, and offered to help. After her work, I felt an incredible relief. It was as if a heavy burden had lifted from my shoulders. Peace, warmth, and harmony returned to the house. The most amazing thing happened later: just seven days later, my husband returned home on his own, having finally ended his relationship with his mistress. He became a different person—attentive, caring, and sincere. I am infinitely grateful to Varya for her help, support, and wisdom. She gave me back not only my husband, but also my faith in happiness, love, and a family future. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a difficult life situation and has lost hope. Thank you, Varya, for a true miracle! Tel. +380632574828 Viber/WhatsApp
Review of clairvoyant Daria: she helped me get rid of a bad streak
"Everything in my life started falling apart at once: my business, my health, my relationships. I thought it was just a bad luck, but it turned out to be the envy of my colleagues. I found Daria through reviews and it was a great choice. Not only did she accurately predict the events of the coming year, but she also helped me completely clear my mind of negativity. Literally two weeks later, my life started to improve. If you're looking for a trusted tarot reader or clairvoyant, contact her at +1 646 377 93 79 or +380 996 826 298. She helps with actions, not just words."
