“‘Apollo 11’ isn’t like other documentaries about the first moon mission. In fact it isn’t like most other movies, period. It’s magnificent and unique, an adrenaline shot of wonder and skill [...] Films this completely imagined and ecstatically realized are so rare that when one comes along, it makes most other movies, even the good ones, seem underachieving.”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 18:50

This award-winning documentary celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which sent the first men in history to walk on the Moon’s surface. Instead of interviews and recreations, this remarkable film recants this milestone in human history exclusively through archival footage, including previously unreleased material, to summarise the achievements of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
