A year or two ago I asked Bob Kahn about the source of the video (he is also in the video), and he said it was done, as I remember, for the 1972 "coming out party" for the ARPANET held in DC at the ICCC meeting.  (I believe this conference is described in Hafner's book, and probably elsewhere.)

just in case: the  longplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY4vsHWe25c (just in case)

I never could find  a movie about the early days of networking in Europe, but as is said somewhere else, Europe has a marketing and management problem to solve. The latter would not - or seldom - have agreed to spend money on things like that. Public media? i am still digging. 

Instead there are some other good news which i hope will trigger your interest in European networking affairs:  the EU bookshop has finally set free the EIN evaluation report, the European Informatics Network, aka  COST project 11. 

EIN  was an attempt to build an experimental pan-European research network, connecting five main centres located  in .fr, .uk. .it, .ch, (1972-1978), and some subcentres (leased lines and dial in). Well, for doing so it was not enough to convince Congress, but  a multilateral agreement (UN treaty 20750)  needed to be signed, in 1971 …

in the report: 
EIN: successful,  but spoiled by the PTTs 
EINbis: not that successful, but at least something was happening
EINter: as far as i am concerned, never happened
