The WOAO crew is excited to collaborate & film this public event celebrating cultural exchange, local organic grain, and the melting pot that is the food culture of NYC! Over 10 varieties of smørrebrød will be lined up ready for you to enjoy.

Wooo! Nothing like a cool breeze to give you that lil’ kick in your step. Ah, Fall!! A new season calls for some change, wouldn’t you say?

Following the changing times, WOAO has spruced it up a bit. We have added our twitter feed to the homepage, have a new-fangled interface, Vimeo channel & a whole slew of upcoming screenings!

If you go to WOAO Vimeo channel you will find a special interview with Joan Gussow, as well as WOAO NYC premiere week panel discussions. If you have hosted a Screen & Green event, have a recording & would like to post it on our channel, please contact us!

Also, the Screen & Green toolkit has arrived. For those of you who have been wondering how to go about putting together a screening the Toolkit can help start you off in the right direction. From small intimate events to larger ones, the free toolkit gives you the basics in prepping an event which you can then put your creative ideas to work with your own personal touches.
