Komrakova Liudmila was born in 1962 in Russia. In her adulthood, she visited Argentina and fell in love with Tango Argentina. Even though she does not have a film or dance education, Liudmila, being a creative person with strong leadership and organizing skills, decided to promote Tango Argentina as a means of communication accessible for everyone and as a developing modern art (not something retrograde with red rose between the teeth).

Thus, she found a team ready to create a series of short films in which dance plays the most important role. In order to attract people with no dance knowledge, she creates films with strong narrative lines where the dance helps to move the story. Liudmila believes that the quality of choreography and performance are the key to the understanding and developing of dance. Thus, she works closely with choreographers and dancers and explains what kind of movements she wants to see at each moment of the music. She works with Mundial in Tango Argentina and choreographers from Argentina. At the moment, her team has created seven short films; most of the films participated in and won awards in different film and dance festivals.
