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

One day, a casual acquaintance mentioned knowing a powerful clairvoyant magician named Alexander, who could see the root of problems and possessed many other extraordinary abilities, helping where others couldn't. He claimed this magician had removed a curse from him, and his life had improved in a very short time. I didn't pay it much attention, but I wrote down his contact information just in case. Luckily. Just a couple of years later, I turned to Alexander with my own problem. My wife had left me and filed for divorce. I didn't understand why or what to do. It was incredibly painful. For several months, I searched for different ways to make peace with her, but nothing worked. So, I decided to message Alexander on WhatsApp at +380971792179 and asked for a consultation. I was very impressed that I didn't even have to tell him anything – Alexander saw my problem himself and explained in detail what had happened and why. And most importantly, he explained what could be done about it. I immediately asked him to help me get my wife back. Alexander agreed. Even more surprisingly, it took him no more than three weeks – the results were delivered ahead of schedule. So if you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact Alexander. I'm confident he can help even in the most challenging situations.
Everything worked out thanks to Marfa. I'll leave her number: +38093-115-02-60 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I came to Marfa when I was almost at the point of giving up... my husband had filed for divorce, our conversations were limited to arguments, and a cold silence reigned in the house. As soon as I walked in, Marfa immediately started talking. She sees everything and tells it as if she's been observing our life from the outside: the grievances, the unspoken things, and my pain that kept me awake at night. Marfa said the connection between us could still be restored and performed several rituals for reconciliation and mutual understanding. I don't know what exactly worked... the wise words, the support, or the atmosphere itself, but something seemed to shift inside. After these meetings, the house became calmer, and my husband unexpectedly opened up to dialogue. We were able to talk for real, without yelling and accusations. He stopped the divorce, and gradually everything began to return to normal. Now it's like we're on a second honeymoon... we're laughing again, making plans, and feeling as close as we did at the beginning. Everything has gotten better thanks to Marfa.
