Synopsis : THE STORY OF THE KELLY GANG (1906) is often cited as the first feature-length narrative film. As with many firsts, filmic or otherwise, the claim has an asterisk affixed to it in some way. Hour-long-plus films of sporting events like boxing matches had been made already in the early 19-aughts (is that something I can call that decade?), and even some fiction films had hit the generally accepted feature-length minimum of 40 minutes. Various organizations and institutes set the minimum much higher, but especially up through the 1920s, 40 to 70 minute features were quite common. Even today, 40 minutes is seen as feature-length by many.
Director Bio : Charles Tait (15 November 1868 – 27 June 1933), together with two of his brothers, was an Australian concert, film and theatrical entrepreneur, but his most notable achievement was as the director and writer of The Story of the Kelly Gang, an Australian film, regarded as the world's first feature-length film. The film was first shown on 26 December 1906.
