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 hesitated for a long time to write this review... Every time I recall what was happening in our family before meeting Varya, the molfarka, my heart aches with pain. My husband and I were together for almost 12 years, and our love once seemed unbreakable. But over the years, everything began to crumble—fights, misunderstandings, coldness. He began to distance himself, and silence and resentment reigned in the house. I felt love fading, as if someone was sucking the life out of us. Out of desperation, I turned to Varya; a friend who had miraculously brought her husband back after he cheated on me told me about her. I didn't really believe it, but a last spark of hope burned within me. Varya listened to me with such attention, as if she understood the pain in my heart. She said, "Your family has a light; it just needs to be rekindled." After her work, strange but bright changes began. My husband suddenly asked to talk. We sat in the kitchen until morning, crying, remembering how we once vowed to be together no matter what. It was as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket from us. Laughter echoed in the house again, and that warm look I hadn't seen in years appeared in my husband's eyes. I don't know how Varya does it—with prayers, herbs, or some ancient power—but I know one thing for sure: she brought love back to our home. She brought back what I thought was lost forever. Varya isn't just a molfarka. She's a savior of broken hearts. Thank her for giving our family a second chance. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
Thank you for your help and support! I received not only my husband's return, but also peace of mind. She removed the negativity from us, saying that there had been a strong curse on our relationship. After the cleansing, everything improved—the house became light and calm, and my husband began to reach out to me. Special thanks for doing everything with kindness and love.

Ever since I was a child, I've understood that many things in life happen for a reason. In my family, it was almost the norm to turn to fortune tellers, sorcerers, and people with abilities, both for personal and business matters. And many things worked out well for my parents and loved ones thanks to this. Of course, no one waited for the wind to blow or sat still trying to make money. But a little luck certainly didn't hurt. At least that's what we always said. Thanks to my parents, I received a good education, moved to another city, and started my own business. Overall, life went on as usual and without incident. But then, suddenly, acute problems began to pile up on me. In a matter of months, major losses and difficult trials followed one after another. My quiet life turned into a series of stresses and upheavals, which affected everything: my health, family relationships, and business. To the point that my wife started raising the question of divorce. And then I began to wonder if something was wrong. But it turned out I didn't have any old contacts, and the old sorcerer I'd consulted had died several years ago. So I started looking for someone to turn to. The magician Alexander eventually helped me sort everything out and put everything in order. I got his number +380971792179 through trusted sources and scheduled an appointment via WhatsApp. His level of clairvoyance and abilities really impressed me, and the results were visible quickly. Now I regularly turn to him when needed and recommend him to others.

I contacted Lilia when I thought my marriage was beyond saving. She performed a ritual, gave me advice on how to behave, and literally a week later, my husband called me!
