Thought most of you guys would be interested to hear about this film, I have been following it for a year or so, but it finally looks like a release date could be around the corner.

Speaking in Code is an intimate account of people who are completely lost in music.
A heartbreaking and lighthearted documentary, it's a vérité glimpse into the world of techno.
Captivating and entertaining, the film takes you around the world, following the people who make electronic music ... their lives.

Featuring: Modeselektor, Wighnomy Brothers, David Day, Amy Grill, Philip Sherburne, Monolake, Ellen Allien, Tobias Thomas, Marc LeClair AKA Akufen, Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer, Reinhard Voigt, Sascha Ring AKA Apparat, Sascha Funke, Mario Willms AKA Douglas Greed, Miss Kittin, Dan Paluska AKA Six Million Dollar Dan, Mike Uzzi AKA Smartypants

Yeah, I read about this a couple of weeks ago, haven't tracked it down yet, but looking forward to watching it.

Also Berlin Calling featuring Paul Kalkbrenner generally globe trotting whilst playing gigs and escaping from rehab from too much ketamine is another one to check. It is more feature film that documentary though.
