The video that made me ask this is this one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914)

A-ha: Take on me in 4k. How is this possible when 4k didn’t exist when the video was made?

That video was recorded in 1985 on film from my understanding.

Film itself has a resolution way beyond 4K depending on the grain size. As long as the film is preserved, it can be re-scanned using a higher resolution scanner.

We will probably get an 8K cut in a few years.
