  • Celsius

    The Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius proposed the Celsius temperature scale in 1742.
    
    This temperature scale is used throughout the world, except in the United States and a few other countries. 0 °C is defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C is defined as the boiling point of water. Subzero is therefore a temperature below freezing point.

A creative group of women, who in a rather clever fashion, are using t-shirts to raise awareness about their cause, the environment. The result is a collection of fashion forward tees and tanks sold at Isetan and Sak’s 5th ave. There will be a mini pop-up within the event to purchase tees from the limited “Break the Ice in NY” capsule collection.

The evenings events will proceed with an after party—including dj’s, drinks and for perfect ambience,projectors will be displaying a mix of vintage and new award winning Norwegian commercials.

Scandinavia House will host A Cooler Perspective: Exploring New Directions in Norwegian Cinema, the premier event of the upcoming SubZero Short Film Fest: Emerging Norwegian Directors Break the Ice in New York, April 8 and 9, at its stunning flagship on Park Avenue at 38th Street.
