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

How can I stop my husband from going out? Healer Tatyana helped me. 0984558444
I want to leave a review about Tatyana, who literally saved my nerves and my marriage. My husband is a handsome man and has always had plenty of girlfriends, but in the last year he's become completely brazen, constantly cheating, flirting, and partying until the early hours. I was completely exhausted, forgiving, crying, but I knew it would soon end in divorce. On the advice of a friend, I wrote to Tatyana on Telegram. I currently live in New York and couldn't travel to see her in person, so we worked from a photograph. Tatyana performed a ritual for his fidelity and protection from other women, so that he would simply not be attracted to anyone but me. And guess what? It's like a different husband! He's become a homebody, spends every evening with me, no longer hides his phone, and doesn't even look at other women. Tatyana is a great help from a distance; she has a real gift. I recommend her to anyone with an unfaithful husband! Her number is 0984558444.
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is an American holiday that we, Russian-speaking Americans, have come to love very much, and when we came to America, we couldn't even imagine how much they do for people in this wonderful country. Marina Lagunova.
Sometimes there comes a time when the usual methods no longer work. A loved one becomes a stranger, relationships crumble or die out, luck fades, and anxiety and fatigue accumulate within. Talking, waiting, and trying to change things yield no results. In such situations, it is important to understand why exactly this is happening. Often, the cause is hidden deeper than it seems: accumulated negativity, energetic influence, or internal imbalance can subtly affect life and hinder progress. People seek help when: - A loved one has left or has cooled towards the relationship. - The same problems constantly recur in their personal life. - A feeling of loneliness, anxiety, and uncertainty appears. - Financial and life opportunities seem to pass them by. - They want to understand what lies ahead and what the right decision will be. What kind of help is provided: - Work with the love sphere - restoring relationships, returning a loved one, harmonizing feelings. - Energy cleansing - removing the evil eye, damage, and other people's negative influence, restoring balance. Fortune telling and situational analysis – Tarot card readings, analysis of the past and possible future events. Support during difficult times – when you lack strength and confidence. Attracting good luck – working with money and life flows. Each situation is considered individually, without cookie-cutter solutions or empty promises. The main goal is to find the cause of what is happening and help change the situation for the better. Help is available in person and remotely. Complete confidentiality. If life has entered a difficult period and it seems like everything is going in circles, sometimes it is a timely request for support that helps put everything in its place.

I can highly recommend Andriya to all +380932169225
I have been wondering about this process for a long time, but my story, perhaps, can help someone. The man and I were over ten rocks at a time, wooing our daughter, planning for the next day. And then it’s just fun. No explanation, no scandals. Just by moving to another woman. It was such a strong blow that I almost fainted. Donka fed steadily, that’s all, but I didn’t know what the truth was. My friends wanted to let me go, to find the best. But I knew that we were one and the same, and I didn’t want to just give up. On my way out, I spent time reading about Andriy’s molfar. I wrote to the number +380932169225 on Viber and asked for a consultation. At the hour of prayer, Andriy did not eat anything. I myself described the circumstances that led to the rupture, and also named some special moments that I didn’t tell anyone about. This impressed me and transformed me into my unique gift. It's time for magical rituals to renew the bond between me and my boyfriend. You will also need to give me specific instructions about what you need to do at home. A week and a decade have passed. And then there’s a ding. A man standing in front of the door with a bouquet of flowers. There has been destruction and torment. Having said that Kohati never blamed me, but life without us was hell. He turned around. I don’t know how it’s said, but it’s said like it’s an old man. Exactly what we discussed with Andriy. Its authenticity, sensitivity and, first of all, the real power of its magical gift, deserve trust and respect. I can highly recommend Andriy to everyone.
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
