The film industry first started in Australia 1906, with the first ever feature film, The Story of Kelly Gang.It was a completely silent film that lasted for 80 minutes. By 1911, Australia had made a total of 16 of these films, and it wasn't until this time that the other countries caught on.
In 1911, the first movie studio was founded in Hollywood. And in that same year, another 15 independents settled in Hollywood and it soon became very well known for its film industry. By 1930, there were five main Hollywood movie studios (Paramount, RKO, 2Oth Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros). And so, by the 1950's, the success of the television was established and was seen as a profitable source, and so the film industry invested in that and allowed their films to be played in the comfort of peoples homes.
