HOLLYWOOD , CA, UNITED STATES, November 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following two nominations at Barcelona’s Love & Hope International Film Festival, Ventura steps as a Best Feature Film juror for Xicitla International Film Festival while preparing her upcoming Western short, Nodos, in collaboration with Frank Zanella.

Italian filmmaker Claudia Ventura continues expanding her international career, taking on a new role as a The Xicitla International Film Festival juror in the Best Feature Film category following the growing recognition of her directorial debut, The Three of Us. The appointment represents another step in her professional development as a director, producer, screenwriter, and editor whose work has earned multiple international distinctions.

Her debut movie drama, The Three of Us, has received numerous international awards, nominations, and official selections, including distinctions for directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and dramatic storytelling.

Most recently, Ventura presented the film at the Love & Hope International Film Festival in Barcelona, where it received two nominations: Best Short Drama and Best Actor in a Short Film, recognizing actor Derek Casper for his performance.

The screening was followed by an engaging Q&A session and an enthusiastic audience reception, allowing Ventura to discuss the film’s emotional themes, creative process, and the experiences behind its development.

Her growing involvement in the festival circuit now extends beyond presenting her own work. Her new responsibility as a juror in the Best Feature Film category allows her to contribute her professional perspective to the evaluation of cinematic storytelling, artistic originality, performances, and technical execution.

With experience across multiple production disciplines, including directing, producing, screenwriting, editing, assistant directing, and script supervision, Ventura brings a comprehensive understanding of filmmaking to this new professional responsibility.

Nodos Marks Her Next Creative Chapter in Italy

While continuing the international festival journey of The Three of Us, Ventura is currently preparing her next project, Nodos, a Western short film in pre-production that will be shot in Italy in Sardinia.

The production represents an opportunity to explore a different cinematic genre, expand her creative range, and develop new storytelling approaches within an international production environment.

For Ventura, whose previous work has been distinguished by its emotional intimacy and attention to human relationships, the Western genre introduces a new creative challenge, offering possibilities for visual expression, character development, and narrative tension.

Her upcoming filming project, NODOS, also reflects her continued engagement with filmmakers and production professionals across Italy and the United States.

Her expanding presence across international festivals and productions reflects the evolution of an Italian filmmaker whose artistic roots remain connected to Sardinia while her professional ambitions continue reaching audiences and collaborators around the world.
