You can do it without sView, just add a gesture recognizer to AVPlayerViewController's view:

func playVideo() {
    let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
    playerController.player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: videoPath))
    playerController.showsPlaybackControls = false
    playerController.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    let swipeUp = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.respondToSwipeGesture))
    swipeUp.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.up
    playerController.view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeUp)

    present(playerController, animated: false) {
        playerController.player?.play()
    }
}

@objc func respondToSwipeGesture(gesture: UIGestureRecognizer) {
    print("swipe up")
}
