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

I still can't believe my life has changed so dramatically for the better. Before turning to the magician Zakhar, I felt as if someone had sucked all my energy out. Constant failures, unexplained illnesses, arguments with loved ones. All of this was literally suffocating me. I was in despair when I accidentally found Zakhar's contact information. I messaged him on Viber and asked for a diagnosis. I was truly amazed by his ability to accurately describe my circumstances and inner state without asking any questions. His diagnosis was so accurate that it left no doubt about his psychic abilities and great power. I asked him to help me. Zakhar described possible solutions to the problem. We agreed. Over the next month, he conducted work using magical practices. Results were noticeable within the first few weeks. My overall health improved, my emotional balance was restored, and previously existing barriers in various areas of my life began to disappear. By the end of the month, significant positive changes had occurred. Everything at work has returned to normal, and my relationship with my loved one has become more harmonious. Overall, I've gained a sense of inner stability and well-being. I'd like to highlight Zakhar's high level of professionalism and exceptional abilities. I highly recommend his services to anyone facing similar problems and seeking an effective solution. Zakhar's number is +380954248510.
Sasha and I were together for almost 4 years. Young, in love, making plans. He proposed to me. I was already looking at a wedding dress. And then everything changed dramatically. He started getting angry over little things, getting irritated, leaving in the evenings. I felt like I was losing him, but I couldn’t do anything. At some point, he just said: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be with you anymore. This is not it.” I fell to my knees. Begged him to stay. He turned away. And left. The worst thing is silence. When you cry into your pillow, and he doesn’t even text. When your phone is silent for days. When you look out the window, hoping that he will appear - but no. Only darkness. I found Lilia by chance, through Instagram. I don’t know why, but I felt: she is my last hope. She immediately said: “Your happiness was stolen from you. But it is yours by fate. If you believe, we will return it.” And so it began. Prayers, working at night, protection, rituals. It was hard. But on the 10th day he wrote: "Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I'm confused. I need you." A week later he came with flowers. He stood on the threshold, with eyes full of tears. Now we are together again. It's like he has become different. Gentle, caring, afraid of losing me. Lily, you changed my life. You pulled me out of hell. You brought back my happiness. Thank you for every prayer.

I want to write because Oksana really helped me. I messaged her on Viber: +380937555708. First, I had a fortune-telling, and everything matched—the past, the present, the thoughts of the person I love. Then she performed a love ritual to cleanse me of negativity. I really felt the changes: I could breathe easier, my constant fears went away, and my relationship started to improve. She helped me get my loved one back and restore trust in my family. I recommend her to anyone looking for real help.
