ABOUT ME
Hello everyone, my name is Sariya Karimova.
I’ve been a film blogger since 2016 (@Sariya_films) and a professional film critic since 2021 (graduate of the Film Criticism program at HSE). I write in-depth articles about cinema and previously hosted a film segment on national television (OTR channel).
I was ranked among the world’s top 20 film influencers (Feedspot). Now currently studying at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and actively developing CinemOcean — a film club that has already gained recognition as an intellectual hub for cinephiles.
I have extensive experience engaging with audiences and a clear sense of what resonates in today’s film market. Directors and streaming platforms from around the world come to me for feedback on scripts and new projects.

My strengths lie in attention to detail, persistence, and a broad viewing background. I specialize in curating high-quality, under-the-radar films for my audience. All the selections shared here are fresh and not recycled from my blog recommendations.
