Are you sure they don't mean cel phone camera or something? That wouldn't be
true either - there's already been at least one feature length cel
phone-shot documentary. Features have been shot on video for decades, and
since Festen (the first Dogme95 film, a superb narrative feature shot with a
horrible-quality Sony pocketcam in available light - but it is visually
STUNNING), which was shot ten years ago, there have been hundreds if not
thousands of narrative features shot on consumer-grade DV (not even HDV)
camcorders. This includes not just first timers but directors like Hal
Hartley, Spike Lee, Lars Von Trier, Rebecca Mailer, Jean-Luc Godard, Marc
Forster... the list goes on and on. There are film studies classes that
focus specifically on these (I've taught some of them myself).
