Charles Tait (film director)

Charles Tait (15 November 1868 – 27 June 1933) was an Australian concert, film and theatrical entrepreneur.

His most notable achievement was as the director and writer of The Story of the Kelly Gang regarded as the world's first feature-length film.

The Tait brothers' earliest presentations centred on the Athenaeum Hall in Collins Street, Melbourne, with concerts often including popular short, film screenings.

This interest led them to join with Millard Johnson and William Gibson in the production of The Story of the Kelly Gang which premièred on 26 December 1906 at the Athenaeum.

In March 1911, the brothers John and Nevin Tait, and Millard Johnson and William Gibson merged their film interests in Amalgamated Pictures which for a short time continued to produce features and newsreels before combining with its main competitor, Australasian Films, in 1912.
