The existing 16mm film from Apollo is roughly equivalent to 2K, and you can see dust kicked up pretty nicely!

Where can we see that in high quality? Generally if I look at YouTube it's compressed and poor quality.

Perhaps try the clips available at the "Video and 16-mm Galleries" from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal:

On the other hand, maybe don't get your hopes up--I've only tried a few, but even the large MPG files don't seem to be "super high quality," but maybe they will meet your expectations.

They never shot 16mm film on the moon. They had weird tv cameras and took photos in 35mm.
