2001 "A Space Oddysy, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, beside Movie Star Background, comments by actors and directors, scene locations in other countries besides USA. I also make video catures with own URL, for other friends on the net, that want a certain pic. Found on discs like "Swiss Family Robinson" or "The Abyss" both have 2 discs plus others.

It sure does. Music plays over paintings that fade into one another. This imagery created since many theatres lack the capability to have curtains close over the screen, but the overture was originally intended to be played while curtains are closed. I believe Von Trier and the painter discuss this on the commentary track.

No. That's just called opening titles. An overture is played prior to any opening titles.
