According to Official Guinness Records,

The earliest surviving film (sensitized 53.9mm (21/8in) wide paper roll) is from the camera of Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (UK), who filmed in early October 1888 the garden of his father-in-law, Joseph Whitley in Roundhay, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK at 10 to 12 frames per second. The camera used was later patented in Britain on 16 November 1888.
