The Story of the Kelly Gang

The Most Sensational, The Most Thrilling and Interesting LIVING PICTURES EVER TAKEN.

The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) symbolizes the birth of the Australian film industry and the emergence of an Australian cinema identity, much as Der Golem (1915) testifies to early German film artistry. More significantly, it heralds the feature film format. Only fragments of the original production, which ran over an hour, are known to exist, preserved at the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra; reconstruction efforts have made the film available to modern audiences.
