The solution is probably simple, but I'm stuck, as an amateur is

A simple script to play a movie:

import pygame
import moviepy.editor

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1000,500))

clock=pygame.time.Clock()
pygame.time.set_timer(pygame.USEREVENT, 5)

running = True
while running:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            if event.button == 1:
                print('You left clicked')

        # video
        film = "Lacuna.avi"
        video = moviepy.editor.VideoFileClip(film)
        video.preview()

The problem is that no action is possible (e.g. a mouse click) until the video is over.
How to perform any action during the video playback.

Best regards.

What do you want to do with moviepy? It is a tool for making/editing movies. It is not a good choice for watching video clips.

I began to realize this... :) And what is best for video playback?

Quick Google search suggests. OpenCV, though I do not have experience with this.
