Distributor Notes

Montreal's legendary Fantasia International Film Festival in North America's largest fantasy/ horror film event and one of the most influential fantastic film festivals in the world. It is where Hideo Nakata's RINGU was introduced to the West, where Jaume (DARKNESS) Balaguerro first screened THE NAMELESS to an English speaking audience, where Nacho (AFTERMATH) Cerda attained worldwide fandom infamy and was the first festival in North America to show a film by Takashi (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER) Miike. Since its inception in 1996, Fantasia has been hugely supportive of short films, with their most recent installment showcasing over 100 selections. Hand-picked by Fantasia's Mitch Davis, SMALL GAUGE TRAUMA is an extraordinary collection of 13 award-winning shorts from 8 countries. Highlights include the Portuguese cinemascope zombie epic I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS, the heart-stopping Macumba Voodoo fury of Brazil's LOVE FROM MOTHER ONLY (hailed by fans and critics alike as one of the most terrifying horror films of 2003), the British Cronenbergian stop-motion masterpiece THE SEPARATION (winner of no less than 15 major awards), the Japanese suicide art poetry of L'ILYA, and the Argento-by-way-of-Brakhage Giallo reinventions of Belgium's Cambre Jaune. This one-of-a-kind collection represents some of the strongest and most eccentric highlights from the festivals trailblazing history with the short film form and is a veritable must-have for lovers of the unusual, aficionados of the fantastic and anyone with an interest in world cinema.
