The films weren't shot with HD cams; they were shot on Super35.

Hmm, I consider Super35 HD, since it has a highly defined image that is even above the 1080 pixel standard (and the lower, 780 standard is also called HD). Do people define it as not being "high definition" because they wish to reserve that term for digital mediums?

"HD cams" typically refers to digital video cameras. As I said after the sentence you quoted, film has a higher resolution than the HD standard (assuming we're talking about 35mm).
