About Small Gauge Trauma

To mark our 10th edition, Fantasia has collaborated with the esteemed US video label Synapse Films to create a special collection of some of the strongest short films we have screened over the festival's history. Co-produced by Fantasia's Mitch Davis and Synapse Films, Don May JR, Small Gauge Trauma features 13 award-winning shorts from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and Quebec, including one from Robert Morgan, whose visionary work is being showcased at this year's event. The dvd will be launched at Fantasia on July 14, at the 9th annual edition of our Small Gauge Trauma short film block, and streets across North America on July 25th, one day after the close of Fantasia 2006.
