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

We were divorced. He left. I was left with a child, a broken heart, and the feeling that it was all over. Lilia didn't promise he would come back. She said, "You must first get yourself back." And step by step, we began working. First, restoring my inner strength. Then, working with my energy. After two months, he started texting me himself. After three, we were back together. I didn't just get my family back. I got myself back. Endless gratitude to you, Lilia! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433

I recommend Evdokia, I'll leave her number 380933891982 telegram. You should feel whether the specialist will help or not.
I want to share my story with you, I see how everyone writes here and how hard it is for everyone. I understand you girls, I went through a period in my life when I was broken, this is really my story. I am a grown woman, I lived with my husband for 18 years, got on our feet together, built a house, opened a business, we started everything from scratch together. We achieved good results in our fields, a good education, we had a loving relationship. We were not only husband and wife, but also friends for life. Everything in my life began to change, my husband suddenly became cold, aggressive, did not listen to me at all, and only negativity emanated from him. I did not understand what was happening, talking to him led nowhere. Just one day he told me, we are getting a divorce, I am leaving for another and that’s it! To say that I was shocked is to say nothing, having known him for many years. Everything we had had to be divided, everything I had invested my best years in, he had to give her to this woman, half of our business. Many tears, visits to psychologists, nothing helped, we divorced, it was a long and unpleasant process. Understanding and watching how he took her across the seas at my expense. It was hell for me. But until I decided to turn to a fortune teller, I spent a very long time looking for a worthy specialist. On my way, I met Evdokia! We spoke on the phone, I called on Telegram, well, I had no other contacts. What I liked was that I didn’t ask a single question right away, I just sent a photo and that’s it. She herself began to tell me everything, I just kept silent and listened. I was very pleasantly surprised, she spoke for 10 minutes and I listened. And I understood that she saw my life and my soul completely. In the end, I simply said, "I urgently need your help." She said, "Do what I tell you and everything will be fine." She told me he was taken from his family for money. I realized that I wanted to fight for my family. I felt that she would help me! The point of writing this story is that you shouldn't give up. We build our own happiness. Don't stop looking for someone who can help you. I recommend Evdokia, I'll leave her number: 380933891982. Telegram. You should feel whether a specialist will help you or not.
For a long time, I hesitated to reach out to anyone for help; shame and pain prevented me from even talking about what happened between us. But when I finally wrote to Lilia, it was as if a small spark of hope appeared in my heart. I cried as I told her how everything had fallen apart, and she so tenderly supported me, helping me see that all was not lost. Thanks to her advice, I learned to listen, ask for forgiveness, and appreciate his love. Now, slowly but surely, we are moving toward each other, and I will forever be grateful to Lilia for restoring my faith and the strength to fight for our happiness.
