I downloaded it just fine using Firefox. However, when I unzipped it, and then opened the resulting folder, there were no .exe files inside. A moment later, Norton reassured me that it had automatically deleted the malicious .exe files, and I was safe.
So I disabled Norton, and unzipped the file again. This time there were four .exe files, each 8kb in size, for running the movie in various resolutions.
I double-clicked one of them. It immediately reduced the resolution of my displays, and moved/rearranged all of my open windows, putting them all onto the right-hand display. I heard music, but saw no video, and panicked and hit Alt-F4 to stop it. My display resolutions were restored, but I had to manually put all my windows back where they belonged.
Perhaps I should have trusted Norton.

The program doesn't move or rearrange any other window, but Windows might do it when switching resolution. I don't know why the graphics didn't start. Maybe the shader compilation failed, or some other issue with the drivers (or the GPU is too old). The source code is provided, so anyone can check the source and rebuild the binary file. The executable has been tested on multiple machines (and was presented at a demoparty, so it had to run on the compo machine).
