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

Molfar Andriy took over my homeland. After ten years of love, the man left the house and filed for separation. Once upon a time, two healthy children lived well and happily. And here it’s like this... It’s become a mess. It's Saturday evening. The day before, the man became movable and aloof, and then changed his personalities at the initial meeting, saying that he wanted to put an end to the past and began to walk away from us. Having picked up our quick words and told them without telling us where we were going. Then he went through a lawyer and became completely a stranger. The process of separation was more difficult than usual. During this hour, the man began to live differently and avoided children. I have experienced so much pain that now I am amazed that I did not endure and did not lose my health. She's lost a lot of weight and has become darker. Life was practically ruined, and I lost myself with two children and did not understand what happened next. Already a few months after the separation, I realized that I definitely can’t live without a man. I can’t forget him and let him go from my soul. So, since I’ve put information about Andriy’s molfar on my contacts, I haven’t talked about it for a long time and I wrote a WhatsApp message to the number +380932169225 and I asked about a consultation. I was immediately struck by the fact that Andriy had grown up and fed me nothing. As I spoke, my heart sank. Andriy revealed everything in detail. Enemy gift. Alas, let’s explain how everything can be brought into order. I asked him without any help to carry out daily work. Less than three years ago, my man with repentance was at home. My dear and dear man. For the longest time I couldn’t believe my happiness because everything was lost behind me. And now it seems that something was different from us. I will forever be grateful to Molfar Andriy for those who took away our homeland with his man. Skoda immediately talked about those who immediately began to ask for help and didn’t know Andriya’s contacts, and that’s how it all began. Raju don’t suffer, don’t worry, don’t waste an hour, but immediately get to Andriy because you’re in trouble.
I turned to Lilya at a time when my husband and I no longer had conversations, hugs, or plans. We simply lived side by side, like strangers. There were betrayals, tears, despair. I didn't know why I woke up in the morning. Lilya became a light for me. She didn't force anything, didn't make false promises. She simply said, "You can still change everything." After a few sessions, the situation began to change. I changed. My husband began to look at me differently. We began to build a home again, not tear it down. Thank you, Lilya. You came at the right time. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
