jan 6, 1911 - Transition to Feature Films

Description:

Increasingly complex narratives were becoming restricted by the standard 1000 foot 10 to 15 minute film reels. Multiple reel films such as Dante's Inferno (5 reels, 1911) to the 10 reel Italian film "Cabiria" (1914) were being released in larger, classier theaters appealing to the middle class and up.
