It can shoot video, but film is the domain of 16 mm and 35 mm motion picture cameras.
The dSLR cameras that have a video feature need some additional accessories to make them into a viable video recording device.

Here is a little video showing how a dSLR can be used as a video camera.

As you notice, the production company uses the same tools to produce video as would a motion picture company, cranes, dollies, underwater housings, etc.

What kind of video camera do you need to shoot quality film ?

Not talking Hollywood just for a quality indie film
Answer
Capture quality FILM using a film camera... Arri and Panavision make good ones.
Capture quality video using a camcorder. It depends on the "quality" you need and what conditions you plan to capture the video.
Camcorders start at around $100 and have small lenses and imaging chips which means they won't handle low light situations very well. As well, audio controls and the ability to connect external mics generally does not exist.
As the camcorder or camera gets more expensive, the lens diameter gets larger - so do the imaging chips. This typically equates to better low light performance. Around the "mid" range $600), mic jacks start to appear. At around $1,000, manual audio control appears.
What is your budget?
Consumer Pocket cams up to about $200.
Consumer Camcorders
entry level up to about $400
mid range up to about $900
high end up to about $1,200
Prosumer camcorders up to about $3,000
Professional grade has $4,000; $9,000; $30,000 and $70,000 ranges... and several past this.
Then there's the crop of dSLRs that can capture decent video (but don't do a very good job with audio - but audio can be captured externally and synch'd with the video during editing... which is what studios do all the time).
Then there's mics, lighting, tripod/SteadyCam/GladeCam vest systems, camera cranes and other steadying systems, lights, cables, dolly/track systems and bunches of other stuff...
Start with a budget range, and lets see what fits... And while you are thinking about that, what computer do plan to edit on? What editing package will you edit with?
The camera or camcorder is just one part of a much larger system of inter-related equipment...
And yeah... this is "indie" level.
