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

You hold in your hands not just a text, but the key to the answers you've long sought. I am Lilia, a clairvoyant with a gift passed down to me through the female line. Since childhood, I have seen what is hidden from view and sensed what has not yet happened. Destiny, love, health, business, family plans, protection from negativity—I help where others shrug their shoulders. I bring loved ones back. Even when all seems lost, I restore connection, cleanse the couple's energy, remove external influences, and open the way to reunion. I help restore love, awaken feelings, and restore what seemed shattered. I don't just predict the future—I help change it. With the help of Tarot cards, energy practices, rituals, and clear inner vision, we find a way out of even the most difficult situations together. My consultations are not frightening predictions, but a path to awareness, clarity, and inner balance. Those who come to me are truly ready to hear the truth and change their lives. Everything you say will remain between us. I work only with pure energy, without black magic or manipulation. Only light, only truth. If you feel it's time to change something, write.

I contacted Lilya because my boyfriend suddenly cooled off, even though it was serious. Lilya immediately said that "love's path is closed" to us and advised performing a ritual to restore the connection. I agreed. A couple of weeks later, he came back and admitted he couldn't stop thinking about me. We're back together and planning our wedding. Thank you, Lilya, for the happiness!

Lilia helped not only to get her husband back, but also to save herself
When my husband said he was leaving because he "didn't love me anymore," I collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, the children saw me falling apart. I looked for help everywhere. Lilia immediately said: these are not his words. He didn't leave on his own. I didn't believe in such things then, but everything she said matched. She started working: she performed rituals, cleansing, gave me meditations, advice on how to restore my inner state. My husband returned after 3 weeks. He himself said: "It was like I was in a fog all this time." Now we are together again. But the main thing is that Lilia not only brought back my husband, she brought me back. I feel like a strong woman again. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, for your sincere participation and desire to help.
I want to thank Lilia from the bottom of my heart for her incredible help and support during one of the most difficult periods of my life. When it seemed like all was lost, and my loved one had left, leaving behind only pain and emptiness, Lilia became the light that helped me not give up and believe in the best. Thanks to her wise advice, sensitivity, support, and keen understanding of human emotions, I was able to change myself, rethink my relationship, and understand where we both went wrong. Lilia helped me not only bring my loved one back into the family but also build a completely new, deeper, and more sincere connection with him. Today we are together, and I feel a harmony and love I could only dream of before. Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, your sincere concern, and your desire to help. You are more than just a specialist—you are a person with a big heart. May your kindness and talent return to you a hundredfold!

Molfar Andriy is amazing at creating. Chula from other people's words, but I myself confirmed it with someone. It is really great happiness that such people with guilt like Andriy exist. I will ruin my homeland if the person is at home. I know a lot of people at home and in other situations. You can solve people’s problems in the same way that they were caused, in a way that you can help in any way. It doesn’t matter to verify it. Write to me on WhatsApp at +380932169225 and ask for a consultation. And you will be happy.
