“About the Event”
A juried film shorts festival inviting submissions inspired by Felice Varini's Square with four circles, Sites. Camera. Action! premiered to a standing-room-only house at the Whitney Humanities Center in May 2011. See the request for submissions and prize-winning film-shorts below.
Site Projects’ fourth commission by renowned Swiss artist Felice Varini, Square with four circles, is on view now in Temple Plaza, downtown New Haven.

Building on the enthusiasm for this project, Site Projects presented Sites.Camera.Action! A film shorts festival...
