Not OP but can only assume it's this one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 lots of new footage and a great documentary.

This one. It's quite incredible in the way it's constructed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_(2019_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_(2019_film) > The film consists solely of archival footage, including 70 mm film previously unreleased to the public, and does not feature narration, interviews or modern recreations. > In late 2016, Todd Douglas Miller had recently completed work on The Last Steps, a documentary about Apollo 17, when British archivist and film editor Stephen Slater suggested making a similarly themed documentary for the upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations of Apollo 11. > Miller's conception of the film was centered on a direct cinema approach. The final film contains no voice-over narration or interviews beyond what was available in the contemporary source material.

  Found a preview of this on youtube for anyone curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgUYurzK-tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgUYurzK-tM The example footage looks awesome - incredible quality but unmistakably vintage.

    That clip may be max 1080. Whats crazy is that while the film was released in 4k, the content sourced from 70mm film has a way higher (8k? more?) potential resolution. Combined with something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25105713 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25105713 and we may still have really cool things to see from the 60s.

    Yes indeed, this one. It gives me chills what humans did back in the 1960's. The quality of the film amplifies this emotion by making it seem like it was just a normal everyday life in modern fidelity.
