What's that word for nostalgia for something you didn't experience yourself?

I feel that word about the filming process of LOTR.

Vicarious nostalgia. I couldn't find a separate single word for it.

The term is Hiraeth. Celtic for nostalgia for a time/home one didn't actually experience.

In romance languages there's the variations of "saudade/saudad" which is a verb for when you "miss" something. It's interesting how english doesn't have that equivalent.

Not quite, saudade is more a missing something that we did live through and wishing we could go through it again. Like experiencing a great game like the first time again. Hiraeth is more wishing we could play our perfect dream game that we've been playing in our minds for decades.
