New York Film Festival

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.

Clairvoyant in New York

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 the magician Oleksandr for helping me during this difficult period of my life. For the sake of this wise man, the gift of clairvoyance and foresight helped me to understand those who are close to me. This gave me the opportunity to gain insight and make the right decisions. And all these rituals took place there, where I couldn’t do anything with my powers. Varto will be open until unsolicited help. Sign up for a consultation with Oleksandr using his number +380971792179 on Viber and WhatsApp. It’s awkward, but it’s the most correct decision.

For a long time I was timid to see what I didn’t know anymore. She laughed in public and saw everything as good, if in the middle everything was screaming. I don’t feel anyone. Not bothering anyone, as I fall asleep with the phone by my hand, hoping for information. I’m throwing myself away and first, I’m looking for something, but there’s nothing. Not in calls, not in dreams, not in life. He just... knew. No explanation. Without drain. And most importantly, I don’t want to share this knowledge with anyone. What should I say? Why do I love someone who never said goodbye? I found out about Martha when I was already giving up. I wish I had thrown my name away. I didn't believe it. Already at night, if I had cut the merry again, I wrote. Just like that. Without refreshment. And she confirmed it. Calm down. M'yako. Exactly. You haven’t lost your mind, she said. You just love. It’s not worth it for you to die in this love. Give me three days. And I gave it. On the fourth day I woke up and in the notifications it was: Can I come? I need you to help me. Vin. The one who knows. The one I checked. Priyshov. And marveling at me like that, nothing happened. I don’t know what she earned. I don’t know what to do with her. But I know: there’s a charge over there. It's dark there. It's more painful there. Vaughn can smell it. And when you think it’s over, you just whisper: No. Whole cob.

Lilya is a person who knows how to restore not only loved ones, but also faith in oneself.

I was losing heart. I didn't believe I'd ever hear his keys in the lock. But Lilya asked me to at least try to trust him—and I did. Three days passed. THREE days, and I heard a knock on the door. He was standing there with a bouquet, tear-stained, and said, "I don't know why, but I kept thinking about you. I want to go home." We stood there, hugging like children, and I sobbed, not believing it was true. Lilya is a person who knows how to bring back not only loved ones, but also faith in yourself.

At the time, I didn't notice the moment my life began to crumble. It was as if I was caught in quicksand and didn't realize it. My business was barely afloat, my relationship with my husband was strained to the breaking point, and constant apathy was draining me of all my energy. But I distinctly remember the moment I was sitting in the dentist's chair and, without expecting it, I began pouring out my heart to him. It was then that he remarked that it was as if someone had jinxed me or cursed me, given how bad things had gotten. He mentioned the magician Alexander, who had once helped him bring his wife back to their family when all hope had been lost. We're all skeptics sometimes, but I wasn't in the mood for anything good, so I asked for his contact information. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a consultation. Alexander struck me as a gifted and considerate man. He sees fate as if through an X-ray. He immediately sensed the invisible weight that was enveloping me. Moreover, he described in detail events from my life that no one could have known about. I won't go into the details of all the magical practices, but I can say that the cleansing process was very personal and profound. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness gradually lift. Years of rust began to peel away from my life. My business suddenly began to revive, and clients literally poured in. My relationship with my husband began to improve; we regained the understanding and warmth that seemed long lost. And most importantly, my energy, joy in life, and desire to act and create returned. The magician Alexander didn't just rid me of negative influences; he helped me rediscover myself, my inner light. I am infinitely grateful to him for the help he provided. In conclusion, if you feel like your life has reached a dead end, that something invisible is weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward, I can confidently recommend contacting Alexander. He is capable of true miracles, helping restore harmony in various areas of your life. Alexander's number +380971792179
