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 hesitated for a long time, but I finally will. I turned to Daria after unsuccessful attempts with other specialists. The difference was noticeable. She listened attentively to my situation, gave a detailed reading, and explained everything in simple terms. Daria doesn't pressure or intimidate, but rather supports and guides. She helps with love matters, can remove negativity, and suggest what to do next. In my case, many things became clearer and calmer. If you need help, Daria's number is +16463779379 (WhatsApp).
Lilia is an amazing person! I felt like there was a "wall" between my husband and me, even though everything had been wonderful before. After the consultation and the harmonization ritual, everything changed: we started talking again, laughing, and planning for the future. Even the children noticed how warm and calm it was at home. Thank you so much! I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433

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.
