Film Socialisme marked Godard's first feature shot entirely on digital video. He utilized a range of equipment—from professional HD cameras for the pristine cruise ship shots to cell phone cameras that produced grainy, low-fi blurs. This "DIY" aesthetic highlights Godard's belief that there are no set rules in cinema; the medium is a tool for exploring the "detritus" left behind by modern consumption.
