Full-length Film shot on Mobile Phone

Two Italian directors who wanted to follow in the footsteps of their legendary countryman Pier Paolo Pasolini have reportedly scored a first - shooting a feature-length documentary using a mobile phone.

The 93-minute film, called Nuovi Comizi D'amore (New Love Meetings), is a modern version of Pasolini's 1965 documentary, Comizi D'amore (Love Meetings), in which Pasolini interviewed Italians to find out their views about sex in postwar Italy. Attitudes across the country showed people had taboos and self-censorship was widespread.

The new version, shot by Marcello Mencarini and Barbara Seghezzi, was filmed in MPEG4 format with a mobile phone. For two months last year, the directors interviewed some 700 people across Italy, at bars, open markets, on the beach. About 100 of them ended up in the movie.
