Stepan Liubimov is a director, cinematographer and editor working in both narrative and documentary filmmaking. He is the founder of Video-For-Art.com, a production company that creates films for independent artists, theaters, museums, and other cultural institutions. His visual documents of performance are art works in themselves and he naturally gravitates towards artists as subjects. 

His films include A Dedication to the Teacher, a portrait of ballet coach Lyudmila Kovaleva in Saint Petersburg; 
The Imaginary Museum of Mikhail Shemyakin: 60 Years of Research, a documentary about the artist's lifelong project exploring visual archetypes across cultures and centuries through comparative analysis of art;
The Courier, a portrait of artists in the time of Covid, which received the Grand Prix at the Bordeaux
Documentary Film Festival; and White Dot, an experimental dance film and finalist at the Context Dance Film Festival.

 He has produced over two dozen films in Russia, France, Germany, and across the US. He lives in New York with his wife Olga and his 9 year old daughter.
