Os Óculos do Vovô (Grandpa's Glasses) is a Brazilian silent film from 1913, and the oldest Brazilian fiction film still preserved. Directed by the Portuguese Francisco Dias Ferreira dos Santos (1873–1937), the film was originally produced in the city of Pelotas by the company Guarany Fábrica de Fitas Cinematográficas. Fragments of it were rescued in the 1970s and the version that's been preserved is just over four minutes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
