WHAT DOES FEATURE-LENGTH FILM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

feature-length film

Feature film

A feature film is a film with a running time long enough to be considered the principal or sole film to fill a program. The notion of how long this should be has varied according to time and place. According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, American Film Institute, and British Film Institute, a feature film runs for 40 minutes or longer, while the Screen Actors Guild states that it is 80 minutes or longer. The majority of feature films are between 70 and 210 minutes long. The Story of the Kelly Gang was considered by some to be the first dramatic feature film based on length, and was released in Australia in 1906. The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ is considered by others to be the first dramatic feature film depending on the feature length definition. The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight is considered the first feature documentary. The first feature-length adaptation was Les Misérables which was released in 1909. Other early feature films include The Inferno , Quo Vadis?, Oliver Twist, Richard III, From the Manger to the Cross, and Cleopatra.
