The Australian feature film industry had many hurdles in the 20th century, with World War 1 and 2, the great depression and the increase in production costs because of the sound era. The film industry in Australia started with the Tait brother’s film production The Story of the Kelly Gang which was released in 1906, this is now known as the world’s first film length feature. Many other film were released until 1911 when the output of film decreased. World War 2 brought the film industry in Australia to ground to a halt, with nearly no successful films being released for nearly 30 years, and reached it an all-time low around the 1960s.
