Claudia Pinto is a director and screenwriter with a degree in Audiovisual Communication, a Master’s degree in Film Screenwriting, a Master’s degree in Television Screenwriting, and a PhD in Photography and New Audiovisual Media. With extensive experience directing television series and four released feature films that have garnered numerous national and international awards — including the Goya, Gaudí, and Platino Awards — she is currently in post-production on her fifth feature film, scheduled for release in April 2027 by Buena Vista Internacional.

Her debut feature, The Longest Distance (La distancia más larga), earned recognition from festivals, the industry, and audiences alike. It was nominated for the 2015 Goya Award for Best Ibero-American Film and won the Platino Award for Best First Ibero-American Fiction Feature, among 17 other international awards.

With The Consequences (Las consecuencias), her second feature film, she consolidated her presence within the European co-production circuit, participating in forums such as the San Sebastián Film Festival and collaborating with prestigious international producers. At the Málaga Film Festival, the film won the Silver Biznaga for Best Film from the Critics’ Jury, while its young debut lead actress received the award for Best Actress. The film also earned several other distinctions recognizing its bold cinematic approach.

She later wrote and directed the non-fiction feature While It’s You (Mientras sea tú), in which she accompanies her friend and actress Carme Elias after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The film premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival and received multiple accolades, including the 2024 Goya Award for Best Documentary and the Gaudí Award.

Her wide-ranging versatility has also led her to direct Morir no siempre sale bien, a dark comedy framed as an urban social satire set for theatrical release in June 2026, as well as Buitres, a comedy-thriller produced by Ciudadano Ciskul, Think Studio, and Telecinco Cinema, scheduled for release in 2027.

Since 2006, she has combined filmmaking with directing television series. Most recently, she directed Beguinas, a historical thriller drama for Atresmedia’s prime-time programming, and Manual para señoritas, a comedy series for Netflix.

Claudia Pinto’s most personal cinema is distinguished by its profound storytelling and her sensitive direction of actors. Throughout her professional career, she has also demonstrated remarkable versatility in tackling projects of diverse nature, combining narrative rigor with a strong commitment to connecting with audiences.
