		Australian cinema continued to thrive during the silent era thanks largely to the work of the pioneers of Australian movie making such as Ken Hall, Charles Chauvel and Raymond Longford, director of the Australian silent classic The Sentimental Bloke.
		The film was the Tait brothers production The Story of the Kelly Gang, a success in both Australian and British theatres, and it was also the beginning of a genre of bushranger stories.
		Australian film's share of the box office went from 4 per cent in 1998 to 8 per cent in 2001.
