Roundhay Garden Scene is a very brief silent motion picture filmed on 14 October 1888 and believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence. French inventor Louis Le Prince photographed the scene, which is set at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay, Leeds in the north of England.

Louis le prince went missing in 1890. Shortly after a body was found which resembled Louis.

A photograph of a drowned man pulled from the Seine in 1890, strongly resembling Le Prince, was discovered in 2003 during research in the Paris police archives. The most likely explanation for his disappearance is thus that, having failed to get his moving picture to work and now in debt, he chose to take his own life
