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

Overview

Just as Galeen and Wegener's Der Golem (1915) can be seen as a testament to early German film artistry, The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) symbolizes both the birth of the Australian film industry and the emergence of an Australian cinema identity.
