CALL FOR ENTRIES

2nd International Video Reporting Award
http://www.videoreporter.org
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is an international competition specifically geared towards innovative documentary shorts and non-fiction digital films helmed by a single autonomous author.
Video Reporting is the merge of cinematography, editing, sound and directing in one single persons hand. Film and television technicians adopt these digital documentary techniques and regard the resultant new autonomous ways of production as a challenge.
Not only will the jury and the preselection committee judge the idea and conception of the film but they will also place great emphasis on the way the filmmaker creatively dealt with the new digital authoring principle.
Smaller cameras offer more freedom of movement and consequently often lead to new perspectives and prospects differing from what you see on television. Additionally, commercial video editing software has achieved a level of sophistication allowing for quick and playful experimentation with the footage. The end results are journalistic films which inspire new boundaries in the field of TV journalism.
We seek outstanding films that experiment with this new mode of production and whose journalistic-cinematic narrative catches our attention in form and content.
Furthermore the films should withstand traditional quality criteria and simultaneously broaden the boundaries of mainstream television.
We are looking for documentary films and authentically narrated stories captivating us with their particular intensity, an innovative creativity and a very distinctive personal authoring style.
We also place a great deal of emphasis on the filmmakers fondness for experimentation, however, keeping in mind the presented films should not exceed 15 minutes and they should have been produced by one or more Video Reporters/ Video Journalists.
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is being borne by the Bauhaus University Weimar as well as those television broadcast stations that are already working together with Video Journalists large scale - Hessischer Rundfunk, Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, Deutsche Welle TV .
The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is going to take place on the 5. and 6. November in Weimar. It is being organised by the professorship Medienereignisse of the media faculty of the Bauhaus University Weimar.
Videoreporters, Video journalists, documentary filmmakers, program managers, journalists and TV directors from all across Europe and the USA will discuss the potential of video reporting/ video journalism in contrast with mainstream television in public screenings, panels and discussions.
The awards ceremony will take place on the 6. November 2005 in the "Mon Ami" cinema and cultural centre in Weimar.

China's Google rockets on debut
It was a remarkable debut. Chinese search engine Baidu.com's shares sold in the United States for US$27 ($39) - then surged on day one to close at US$122.54 ($177.46).
Friday's result was the biggest first-day gain for a new listing in the US for five years.
Investors had more than quadrupled their money.
An analyst in New York with IPOdesktop.com, a website devoted to initial public offerings, John Fitzgibbon, said: "This one is the return to the internet bubble. Last time we saw a deal skyrocket was during the frothy IPO markets of 1999 and 2000."
Then came the post-mortem.
Some analysts said the internet search engine could have had an even better payday for itself if underwriters had sold the deal at a higher price to begin with.
"It looks to me like the underwriters should have had a better indication of the appetite for this stock than they did," said Donald Straszheim, president of Straszheim Global Advisors.
Investors were eager to own a stake in a company that many say could grow as dramatically as Google and is based in a country itself undergoing explosive growth.
But other analysts are not so sure the underwriters made a mistake, given that the company's shares were priced at a relatively high multiple of revenues.
"It wasn't priced out of line with the rest of the market. In a situation like this, you're dealing with the unpredictability of the after market," said Tom Taulli, of Instream Partners in Newport Beach, California.
At issue is the underwriting process. Banks selling shares to the public - in this case Credit Suisse First Boston, Goldman Sachs, and Piper Jaffray - are paid to use quantitative models to determine a fair price for shares, but also to gauge investor demand.
Underwriting has both subjective and objective elements, making definitive evaluation of a bank's performance difficult. In this case, demand for the IPO was evidently outsized, but so were the unknowns for the company.
"We don't know the potential impact of censorship in China, or how quickly the internet will grow there," said David Menlow, president of IPOfinancial.com. Had the IPO been priced higher and then fallen in the first day of trading, investors could have sued.
Baidu.com chairman and chief executive Robin Li, speaking on CNBC, said he was not upset by the potential lost proceeds of the IPO because the company had only sold a small portion of itself, and had significantly more growth ahead.
But University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter, an IPO expert, said Baidu.com left money on the table by introducing the shares at a level well below where they ended hours later.
