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

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, for the hope and love that you helped bring back!
When I turned to Lilia, my soul was broken... My husband left, the relationship was destroyed, and I did not know how to live on. Lilia immediately felt my pain, told me everything without unnecessary words - as if she saw through my life. A few days later, amazing things began to happen: my husband wrote himself, then called, and a week later we were already sitting together in the kitchen and talking heart to heart. Now we are together again, as if everything is starting from scratch. Thank you, Lilia, for the hope and for the love that you helped bring back!

Does Tarot Card Reading Work – My Experience (+16463779379)
I had a reading done by a clairvoyant, her phone number is +16463779379. Everything she said matched reality, even the little things about a person's character and behavior. She suggested what to do, and after a couple of weeks the situation in the relationship really changed for the better.
Now our family is stronger than ever. Thank you, Lilia!
My husband and I were on the brink of divorce and no longer believed anything could be fixed. But fate brought Lilia and I together, and it was a true miracle! I found her in New York, and she helped us find our way back to each other. She showed us the importance of understanding our partners, working on ourselves, and not being afraid to seek a solution, even when it seems all is lost. Now our family is stronger than ever. Thank you, Lilia! (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls)
