Australia shows its earliest surviving film
Australia's earliest surviving film -- a 1896 movie known as "Patineur Grotesque" or "Humorous Rollerskater" -- was shown in the country for the first time.
The comedy, which shows a cigar-smoking, top-hatted man rollerskating before a crowd with a white hand mark on the seat of his trousers -- is thought to have been filmed in Melbourne by French cinematographer Marius Sestier.
