This video offers a copyright protected viewing of "Geschwindigkeit" (Velocity) by Edgar Reitz. More specifically, it concerns the 2017 remake with an original score by Richard Rijnvos. In a concert performance setting, the first three minutes function as a prelude: whilst the audience observes the big band playing live, the screen remains black. In this Youtube clip however, the viewer is presented with an introduction by the composer instead.
