Commpletely OT:

"The Story of the Kelly Gang" (1906) was the first "feature film" in the
world... It was the first secular "story" film that occupied the full
programme (40 to 60 minutes).

(forgive me, it just happens that my father not only teaches film, but
this is his period - Early Australian Cinema)

Take care,

Liam
