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

This is a story, but I respect the need to share it. I know for sure from my own personal experience that the khannya can be different. I was born a girl and even in childhood I learned that I deserve a wife, that I want to mother a happy family with a good girl. It’s true that our marriage is often, out of intolerance, considered to be similar to mine. I was sick of Stosunkiv. Even before I started school, I accepted myself as such. At the university, hundreds of hundreds became the norm of life. After all, I felt completely free to move to the USA. There I was able to lay the hooker with the kohana. Prote, like our original family, our family may not have stood up to the magical influx. I had a chance to make hundreds and remove a love spell from my friends. Submit to the Greater Forces and practices that are reasonable and tolerant of human nature. This is the magician Zakhar. I am happy that I was able to find out your contact information. He’s a very strong clairvoyant, and he’s such a smart guy. Zakhar betrayed our family. Tomorrow I’ll be so excited.

I want to tell you about my life... about how I got to know Martha.
Good afternoon. I want to tell you about my life... about how I met Martha. My life has never been easy. Everywhere you look, there’s a lot of experimentation: either there’s no money coming out of everything I need, then people are happy, they’re checking how much more I can get. My heart sank at the selfishness and feeling that no one needed me. It seemed that the darkness would never come, but would end with each day. And one time, when it seemed that I could see nothing else, my mother introduced me to the woman who had changed my life. Vaughn stretched out her hand to me when I fell into the middle, supported me in everything, in my life, in everyday difficulties and in my inner doubts. For the first time in a long time, I experienced warmth and a turbo that I had never expected in the world. With her help, I learned to trust people again and believe in goodness. My heart gradually filled with light, and I realized: in the dark days there is hope, after the greatest disappointments you can rise. Now I am strong, confident in myself and ready to hear new shouts from this year. This woman gave me not just help - she gave me faith in herself. And I know for sure: no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I can overcome them, because now I’m not on my own. I’ll leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I turned to Lily at a time when I had already stopped believing in miracles.
I turned to Lilya at a time when I'd already stopped believing in miracles. The house felt empty, and my heart felt heavy. Lilya listened to me so attentively that I felt she knew my feelings better than I did. She said, "You'll still hear him call your name, and there will be real warmth in his voice." A few days later, my husband called. His voice was shaking, he apologized, and said he felt a strong need to come back. As he stood at the door, I realized: sometimes miracles come through people. Lilya is one of them. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
