Apollo 11 – A celebration at The Courtyard

Apollo 11 (U) celebrates 50 years since man first walked on the Moon. 

To celebrate NASA’s most celebrated mission, The Courtyard will be screening brand new documentary, Apollo 11 (U) from Saturday 13 – Thursday 25 July.

Created from previously unseen 70mm film footage and over 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 (U) launches audiences to the heart of the mission that first put men on the Moon and established Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as American icons.

Directed, produced and edited by Todd Douglas Miller, Apollo 11 (U) is comprised solely of archived footage including scenes from Launch Complex 39, spectators who flocked to watch the launch, the recovery of Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins and post-mission efforts aboard the USS Hornet.

2019 marks 50 years since Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon, an historical event that was broadcast live to audiences all across the globe. The momentous achievement put an end to the ‘Space Race’ and was, in the words of Armstrong himself, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

 Apollo 11 (U) will be in The Courtyard’s Studio Theatre from Saturday 13 – Thursday 25 July.
