Jim Brick jotted down the following:

> Is there a web site?

There is:  http://www.gigabitfilm.de/ but there is not English translation
yet.  Head over to:

  http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=003sAk

where there is a discussion on this film, along with a translation of the
more important parts of the site into English.

From what I can understand of the discussion, it seems as though gigabit
film is mostly marketing hype.  (The discussion is confusing at first,
because some of the first messages are about a digital back also called
Gigabit, but this gets clearer if you stick with it and continue reading).
