And while I'm still logged in...

The oldest colour footage found to date. 109/110 years old (1901 or 1902, beating Kinemacolour by about 8 years.)

Apparently the guy who filmed it combined green, blue and red colour filters and superimposed the images over one another.

 
The BBC also says the films were made by a British photographer and inventor called Edward Turner, who patented the idea but died at the age of 29.
