[archival] Looking for a 1977 Venezuelan Super-8 film with an incredibly long title
Hi! I’m researching a very obscure Venezuelan Super-8 film from 1977 that appears to be difficult or impossible to watch today.
The film is titled:
Por qué la novia del coronel se fue con el pirata y regresó a Cumboto para entregarse a Juan ran ran ran ran rataplán esa historia del mar de la luna solo la sabe el tucán
Known information:
- Director: Temístocles López
- Country: Venezuela
- Year: 1977
- Format: Super-8
- Runtime: approximately 35 minutes
This is not an unidentified film. I have found multiple independent references documenting its existence, including filmographies and material concerning the Venezuelan Super-8 movement of the 1970s.
However, I have not been able to locate a publicly accessible copy, digitization, screening, or archive scan of the film.
I am particularly interested in finding out whether a copy may survive in:
- the Venezuelan Cinematheque / national film archives;
- a Venezuelan Super-8 collection;
- a private collection;
- an archive or library;
- or the personal/professional archive of someone involved with the film.
I am not asking for a pirated copy. I am trying to determine the current archival status of the film and whether it can still be viewed legally.
¿Alguien de Venezuela o interesado en el cine venezolano de los años 70 reconoce esta película o sabe algo sobre dónde se conserva?
Even a small piece of information about its history or current whereabouts would be very helpful.
I would especially appreciate information from people familiar with Venezuelan experimental cinema or the Super-8 movement.
