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.

Returned my beloved and removed the curse - Maria really helps

After breaking up with my ex, I started having problems—not just in my personal life, but in my overall well-being. I was constantly having breakdowns, feeling tired, and having bad luck. I turned to Maria on her advice, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. She immediately told me I was negatively affected—a strong evil eye had been cast on me. She did a cleansing and performed several prayer rituals. Everything was very calm, with explanations. She works only with white magic, without fear or risk. And most importantly, a few weeks later, my ex contacted me himself. We're back together, and our relationship has even gotten stronger. Maria is a very bright and strong person. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. +18473130212 Viber
 

She brought warmth back into our home.

We lived together for 11 years, but at some point, everything started to fall apart. The house was cold. Words were like glass. The children felt the tension. I didn't know how to fix it. I turned to Lilya on a tip. And it was the best solution. She saw the situation without words. She said there was negativity, arguments, resentment, and energy fatigue. She cleansed me out and gave me advice—not only spiritual but also practical. It's like my husband and I got to know each other all over again. He laughs again. I want to go home again. Lilya, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You bring me back to life. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
 

I recommend that you contact the magician Oleksandr if necessary.

I'll write briefly. I recommend that you contact the magician Oleksandr if necessary. Yogo number +380971792179. I was tired of it. It spun around to the top, apparently, molfariv... But such a strong practice as Oleksandr never caught on. The wine doesn’t feed anything. Learn and understand the power of being brutalized. Oleksandr helped me in my situation and will help you too

I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help me—she saved the most precious thing I had.

When my life was falling apart and my heart was breaking with pain and despair, I came to Varya, the molfarka, as my last hope. The world around me seemed to have gone dark, my wife had become distant, our house was empty. It seemed as if love was gone forever. Varya greeted me calmly, with that quiet strength that can be felt even in silence. She stared for a long time into the crackling fire in her hut, as if she saw something I couldn't comprehend. With her first words, peace entered me, and with the first rituals, a feeling that everything could still be restored. Several days passed, and it was as if fate itself had turned its face. My wife suddenly began to seek communication, open up, and remember the good times. A thread of warmth reappeared between us, and soon, true intimacy. The shadows of the past dissipated, and the connection we had once lost was reborn stronger, purer, more honest. I still can't explain how it happened. But it was after meeting Varya that my family found a second life. Her wisdom, strength, and ability to listen to a person's soul made the impossible possible. I thank Varya from the bottom of my heart. She didn't just help—she saved what was most precious to me. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
