    They simply did not use a film camera to show the lunar module ascending from lunar surface, they used a TV camera with direct transmission to Earth. A film camera could be used from the ascent stage of the lunar module.

They didn't use film for this. A video camera was installed on the Lunar Rover Vehicle. This camera could be controlled from Mission Control and it could send its video directly to Earth.

It depends on which "film" you are referring to. (In other words, you should provide a link or screen capture to show exactly what you are referring to.)



For the first moon landing, Apollo 11, the lift off was filmed with a motion picture camera inside of lunar module looking out the window. Obviously they carried that camera home with them and develop the film after returning to Earth. (The landing was filmed the same way: camera pointing through the window.)



For Apollo 15, 16, and 17 that the other answers referred to, that was filmed from the lunar rover and used video transmission. No film and no processing was involved.
