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 want to share my experience with clairvoyant Rufina. I read a lot of good things about her on forums, so I decided to contact her. I didn't regret it! The Viber reading was so accurate that I was shocked. She not only predicted important events but also immediately gave recommendations on how to improve my current situation. I was especially impressed by her approach to rituals. Rufina conducts them with great soul and faith. She truly visits sacred places, and it's clear that she performs each ritual with love and respect for her work. My problems began to disappear, and I felt my life improving. From now on, I will always turn only to Rufina when I need help. I recommend her to anyone looking for real support and help in difficult situations! Here is her number: +380686790785 WhatsApp/Viber
I thank Lilia from the bottom of my heart - her strength is real.
At first glance, Lilia understood what had happened between my husband and me. Without further ado, she saw the root of the problem—an energy gap, the influence of a stranger, and my inner pain. She conducted profound work, after which the situation began to change rapidly. My husband, who had been like a stranger, began to return in spirit, and then in body. Now we are together, and I feel a harmony between us that I never even knew before. I thank Lilia from the bottom of my heart—her strength is real.

My world turned upside down when my husband left me for another woman. For his mistress. It seemed there was no way out of the utter darkness I found myself in. My friends advised me to accept it, but my heart refused to believe that this was the end... I searched for any opportunity, any hope. And that's how I found Zakhar. I didn't believe in fortune tellers or magicians, but fate itself showed me that things weren't so simple. When Zakhar spoke, I was shocked. He didn't ask anything, but he told me everything! Every detail of our relationship with my husband, the reason for his departure, even the name of the woman! It was incredible. He said he could help, and I grasped at that straw. The following weeks were filled with mixed feelings. Hope, anxiety, anticipation. And then it happened. My husband called. We met, and I saw longing and remorse in his eyes. He said he had made a mistake, that he realized how much he loved me. A short time later, he came back. I still can't fully comprehend what happened. But one thing I know for sure: Zakhar isn't just a magician, but a practitioner who can do the impossible. He brought back not only my loved one, but also my meaning in life. If your heart is broken, don't despair. Contact Zakhar. He truly does work miracles. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram).

I felt like my heart simply stopped beating from the pain when our relationship collapsed. I lay awake at night, replaying every mistake in my head and not believing I'd ever be able to smile again. That's when I turned to Lilia—and it became my salvation. She carefully gathered my shreds of hope and helped me believe that love can be rekindled with heart and warmth. Step by step, with her support, I found the strength to ask for forgiveness, understand him, and give us a chance. Today, we are close, and I will forever keep in my heart the gratitude to Lilia for pulling me out of the abyss of despair and giving me the chance for a new life next to my beloved.
