Grandma Threading her Needle is a 1900 British short silent comedy film, directed by George Albert Smith, featuring an old woman trying to get a thread though a needle. The sole purpose of the 56-second single-shot film, like the director's earlier Old Man Drinking a Glass of Beer (1898), according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "is to record changing facial expressions for the purposes of entertainment."[1]
