the future of film?

a film made entirely on cell phones. in south africa. i particularly liked this line:

"Kaganof [the filmmaker] -- who ironically bought his first cell phone last year to make the film -- dismissed concerns over quality and said the footage looked 'fabulous' when blown up to the standard 35mm feature film size."

as someone who writes and records songs at home in a manner that is often characterized as "lo-fi", i'm all for stuff like this. if our governments can't be democratic, at least our arts should be.
