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.

This is definitely not a dupe of that. The answer is pretty interesting too,

@uhoh I believe Kurt's answer is correct and not a dupe but I'll have to check the link to be sure. If that answer is correct it should be expanded upon. I'll check when I'm at a real computer.

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.
Nor computers. It was some poor schmuck's job to sit in a chair at MC and tell a video camera to point into the empty sky and track, the entire time, along where it will be in about four and half seconds (signal delay).

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.
