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'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.

Want to get your loved one back? An online love spell will gently restore harmony in your relationship.
Honestly, I went to Lilya in complete despair. My husband had left me for another woman, the children were suffering, and I didn't know what to do. A friend insisted, saying, "Try it; she sees right through everything." And so it turned out. Lilya immediately explained the reason and even named the woman he'd left me for! After she started working, everything started to change: my husband started texting, showing interest in the children, and then he asked to talk. Now we live together, as if we'd been given a second chance. I'm incredibly grateful! I'm giving her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
My wife, who is twenty years younger than me, left the family with our daughter, succumbing to pressure from her mother. This was my second marriage, and unfortunately, my mother-in-law was categorically opposed to our relationship from the start. The situation seemed hopeless. Just when I had lost all hope, I turned to the magician Alexander. I sent him a WhatsApp message at +380971792179 and arranged for a diagnosis. Alexander didn't ask any questions and asked me not to reveal anything. I was so impressed when he told me everything, right down to names and other details no one else could know! I literally begged him to help me. Alexander agreed to carry out the necessary work. And the results were immediate. Less than a month later, my wife returned to me. I remember how she walked into the house, put down her bag, and our daughter ran to me as fast as she could and hugged me tightly. And at that moment, I knew I had won. And then came another surprise. My mother-in-law, who constantly turned my wife against me, suddenly reversed her behavior and gave us an apartment, which we now rent out. She said we deserved happiness and wanted to make amends, and the extra rent wouldn't hurt. I'm still in shock and can't wrap my head around it. Alexander truly works miracles! That's why I recommend everyone contact him if they need help.
If you're reading this, it means you, like me, are searching for hope. I lost the man I loved due to misunderstandings and interference. Lilia didn't just bring him back; she changed my life. With her help, I understood why everything happened and how to fix it. He came back on his own, with confession and remorse. And now I know love can be restored if you trust with your heart. Thank you, Lilia, you are my guardian angel. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
