New York Film Festival

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.

Review of a clairvoyant and tarot reader - she helped me get my loved one back and remove negativity

I'd like to share my story and recommend a very good clairvoyant and tarot reader. She helped me a lot when I was deeply depressed due to problems in my personal life. She reads with great accuracy and insight, immediately identifies the root causes of difficulties, removes negativity, and even helps overcome emotional illnesses. I turned to her when I thought all was lost—my loved one had left, and I didn't know what to do. She performed a diagnosis, gave clear recommendations, performed rituals to bring my loved one back, and after a while, the situation began to improve. She also predicts the future—everything has come true for me! I'm very grateful for her support and assistance. If anyone is looking for real help, here's her number: +1 646 377 9379.
 

Feedback about clairvoyant Lily: she brought my wife back!

After a difficult breakup with my wife, it seemed that everything was lost. Talking, trying to fix everything, nothing helped. My soul ached, and my heart refused to accept it. In despair, I decided to turn to the clairvoyant Lilya and this was the best decision in my life. From the first minutes of communicating with her, I felt warmth, understanding and real strength. She not only saw the essence of our problem, but also helped me step by step to restore the broken connection. Lilya did not promise a magic wand, but gave what really works - energy, knowledge and rituals that brought back my beloved wife. Now we are together again, and our union has become even stronger. I am grateful to fate for bringing me to Lilya. If you have lost hope, do not be afraid to contact her. This is not just help, this is a real miracle. Thank you, Lilya, with all my heart!

Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart.

When I came to Lilia, I felt so much pain and confusion inside... It felt like I'd lost someone who was part of my soul. Lilia didn't just listen—she felt me. Her words were so soft, as if she were hugging me from a distance. After our meeting, I was able to breathe calmly for the first time in a long time. And the most amazing thing is that our relationship began to heal on its own. Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart.
