For All Mankind

Synopsis: During the Apollo lunar missions from 1968 to 1972, those onboard were given 16mm cameras and told to film anything and everything they could, in space, in orbit, and on the surface of the moon itself. Two decades later, filmmaker Al Reinert went into the NASA vaults to create this compendium of their journeys and experiences. Assembled from hundreds of hours of the astronauts’ own footage, with a soundtrack made up of their memories and a specially composed score by Brian Eno, the film takes the form of one journey to the moon and back again, to create an vision of human endeavour and extraordinary experience. The Masters of Cinema Series presents Criterion’s high-definition restoration of the film for its UK home viewing première in a director-approved special edition.
