The Screening Conference serves to improve United States and international policies which attempt to solve environmental problems. This annual event is organized by the Exchange, a tax-exempt non-governmental organization which operates in the public interest and has been organizing issue-oriented screening conferences and related research projects since 1986. Participation in the conference is by invitation only, though no fees are required.

The International Film and Television Exchange presents a conference in Washington DC and New York with outstanding expert panels and recent documentaries, television programs and feature films covering environmental issues. Selected productions and topical seminars address political, economic, and social issues raised by environmental problems and their possible solutions.

Among the themes covered by the 2000 New York Screening Days are

• Bio-diversity
