Roundhay Garden Scene, oldest known surviving film, 1888

Filmed by Louis Le Prince at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay, Leeds on October 14, 1888, Roundhay Garden Scene is believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence.  

The three-second film features Adolphe Le Prince (Louis's son), his parents-in-law, Joseph and Sarah Whitley, and Annie Hartley, a friend of Adolphe and his wife.  Sarah Whitley died only 10 days after the scene was filmed, making her earliest born person to appear on film.
