The oldest filmed person?

Last night, as part of my revision, i was watching some old newsreels on DVD. One was of the 1935 general election and showed a 103 year old man going to cast his vote. This of course means he was born in about 1832! So that got me wondering, who is the oldest person to have ever been filmed? By that of course the person born before anyone else who was filmed by a motion picture camera. As motion pictures or films date back to the late 1880s it is possible that someone born in the 18th century was filmed. Does anyone know?
