As far as we know, yes, it was this film instead of having a guest band as opening act, to put the audience in the mood for the Cure gig, it was homemade by Gallup's brother Rick, and only about 36 seconds are known
it's something we wish for for the past 40 years, how lucky you are to have been there and to have see it for real! If you have souvenirs of the rest of the video, it would be nice if you could tell.

I wonder how many copies could have been made? Smith at the beginning used to collect everything, but I don't recall him ever saying he had a copy? About this extract, in the comments, by basehead617 : "This extract was shown on French tv during an interview with the band in 1985." That's probably les Enfants du Rock.

TV show was 4C+ hosted by Alain Chabat on Canal+ Channel. Maybe Canal+ has a copy of the film.
Then the thing is, the CV extract on youtube is a proper video, i mean there are no comments over it.
I wonder who may have given it to them? The record company? Parry? And how come it/he would have given it to this program, which in my opinion wasn't the best rock one at the time?
It's such a long time ago, even if they had the full film, i suppose they haven't kept it, it's probably been in a dusty old box thrown away on the turn to the numeric age.
Good bit of detective work going on in here Chris Parry famously wrecked the only master of Seventeen Seconds after leaving on top of his tumble drier for years. Chances are CV met a similar fate
That's exactly what I thought. But there surely must have been several copies. Imagine during the tour there is a problem with the film, they must have had some copies to be able to replace a potential damaged film.
