Do you know where to find them? Preferably free, if they're on an archive somewhere or similar. They seem to be in german as well, am I correct in this?

"Adrian Frutiger - Typographer" (1999) was released in English, French, German and Italian. It was released in DVD format in 2004. It's listed on amazon.de [0] but seems to be out of stock at the moment. It seems to be available in libraries across Germany and Switzerland [1].
"The Man of Black and White: Adrian Frutiger" (2005) was released in Swiss German and German in DVD format. It's also listed on amazon.de [2] but seems to be out of stock at the moment. The San Francisco Public Library [3] seems to have a copy though.
Sebastian Rohner of R.Films shot an interview with Adrian Frutiger at his home in Switzerland in 2007. It's available in German on YouTube [4].

Thank you for being so thorough and informative though I seemingly won't get hold of these films. After reading the comment thread in the "playing with pigs" article, this is a ray of sunshine.
If you haven't seen it, there's also a documentary (in English) called Helvetica that isn't about Frutiger but certainly gets into a lot of discussion about the international typographic style more broadly.
