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 came to Lilya in a state of complete devastation. My husband had left, saying he'd "outgrown his family" and "needed something else." I cried every day, lost my appetite, and lost my purpose in life. Lilya listened, felt my pain, and immediately said, "This isn't the end. You've just drifted apart—in spirit. But that can be restored." At first, I didn't believe it. But she worked with me, gave me precise advice, performed an energy cleansing, and helped me get back to myself. Three weeks later, he contacted me himself. A month later, we were sitting at the same table and talking honestly for the first time in a long time. I sincerely believe that without Lilya, none of this would have worked out. Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
If someone had told me earlier that I'd turn to a clairvoyant, I would have laughed. But when my husband became cold, started working late, stopped talking to me, I felt like I was losing him. Lilya saw everything! She said there was negativity on him, that our family had been cursed. She cleansed him, gave him a talisman, and performed a ritual. Three days later (!) he himself said he wanted to mend things between us. It was as if a weight had been lifted from our souls. We bow deeply to you, Lilya! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
I want to express my deepest gratitude to clairvoyant Lilia! Thanks to her help, I was able to save my family. At a difficult moment, when my relationship with my husband was hanging by a thread, Lilia was able to see the essence of the problem and guide me on the right path. Her words, support, and energy work literally rekindled our love. Now we have peace, warmth, and understanding again. Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart! I'm writing to her on Viber and WhatsApp (+380638055486) and her regular number (+19297133433).

Lilya is not just a psychologist, she is a real lifesaver!
Lilya isn't just a psychologist; she's a true lifesaver! When I found her in New York, my husband and I were almost breaking up. But she helped us rekindle our love and taught us to be honest and open with each other. Now I know how important it is to work on relationships and that everything can be fixed. Thank you, Lilya, for helping me not only get my husband back but also save our family! I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).
