Anecdotes

Isla de sal is a 1964 Venezuelan drama comedy film directed by Clemente de la Cerda. It was his first feature film, but was considered one of his more important works. Later he won national acclaim with his blockbuster Soy un delincuente (1976).

Production

The film introduced Cerda's focus on poverty and marginalization, which he continued in his later works.

Due to the political content, he was unable to obtain state funding until the mid-1970s.

The director said of the film: "I knew from the start that it was a good movie, but in Venezuela there are no schools, no tradition or film industry, which is why I believe we should start with movies aimed at the general public."
