1. Beginnings (Feb 1908 - Aug 1918)

The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906):
The first feature-length film (as we now understand the term)
to be released in the UK.

Most films in this section are listed according to the month they were first trade shown, or when they were first 'made available' to exhibitors, as listed in contemporary trade publications Kinematograph Weekly (KW) (1889-1971) and The Bioscope (1908-32). Where such information has proven elusive, I've listed them by the UK release date. This approach is somewhat scattershot, but I've tried wherever possible to accurately date titles according to their arrival in the UK.

NB. It's highly likely that a small number of titles in this section were announced by the trade press but not subsequently screened in UK cinemas. Where evidence emerges to suggest as much, these titles will be deleted.
