José Roberto da Cunha Salles
José Roberto da Cunha Salles was a Brazilian inventor and self-proclaimed pioneer of cinema, known for attempting to patent a film he claimed to have made in 1897, which consisted of a brief recording of waves at a fishing dock. Despite his dubious claims and a history of con artistry, he played a significant role in establishing Brazil's first cinema, the Grande Salão de Novidades Paris, in Rio de Janeiro.
