I second this recommendation for Moleman 2 documentary, but the video I found has a different link: ▶ this video Looks like this version is in English, while the earlier link is in Hungarian, otherwise they appear to be the same film.
Demoscene is such an interesting form of art. If you are interested, watch this documentary: ▶ this video The 4k (not the resolution) are very impressive.
Moleman 2 - Demoscene: ▶ this video Moleman 4 - Longplay (A videogame documentary): link Both are expertly crafted and fun documentaries about their titular subculture with a Hungarian twist.
There is a nice documentary on the history of the demoscene, with some introspection to the creative process behind a demo/intro. It was made by a Hungarian team, who has other interesting documentaries on underground culture. It is also available in English, at: ▶ this video
If you are interested in today's* state of the demo scene, check out the documentary "Moleman 2 - The Art Of The Algorithms (2012)": ▶ this video *Granted, it's 5 years old, but still awesome :D!
Also, a fantastic visual guide is the documentary film "Moleman 2" (2011). It's freely available to watch on YouTube; highly recommended: ▶ this video
