The charges were later dropped. Paradoxically, film was awarded in others festivals like the Fantasporto in Porto, Portugal. Film was presented in 40 countries, and only in Spain had this problem. Several directors of different film festivals (Sevilla, San Sebastián, Valladolid, Málaga, Pamplona, Huelva and Granada, etc.) sent letters to Salas showing their support. He has written several books about films. It includes Tiburón: Vas a necesitar un barco más grande!: el filme que cambió Hollywood (2005), about the film Jaws (1975); Profanando el sueño de los muertos: la historia jamás contada del cine fantástico español (2010), about Spanish cinema; and Just imagine: 50 títulos esenciales del cine de ciencia ficción (2017), about science fiction films.
