You can use a gerund with during, but the wording needs to change. Generally speaking, you would need to add an article or a possessive adjective. Even so, this construction will often sound awkward.

- During the showing of the movie, I fell asleep. (a little awkward, but grammatically correct)

- During the watching of the movie, I fell asleep. (very awkward, but technically grammatically correct. ...")

- During the movie, I fell asleep. (In German, genitive: "Während des Filmes ...")

- While (I was) watching the movie, I fell asleep. , ...")
