Just looking at posts and ran across this. You need to find a qualified instructor. Everybody who hang glides is going to have an answer for you when you show a video and ask what happened. There are good teaching techniques that can help you to avoid these types of things.
I know you dont have much altitude but as soon as you feel the right wing drop.....pull in, pull in.....to gain sufficient air speed to manouvre the glider again.
Speed is safety. It might help to pull in a little further than you're used to to increase the safety margin. The bar pressure helps to distinguish between different levels of speed / different angles of attack and will allow you to keep your speed consistent across flights. If you need to make a big correction (as in the stall case), pulling in aggressively as you shift your weight helps to improve the glider response. Just my 2 cents... Stay on it and you'll have your license in no time!
@horstgreiterer Thanks for your comments. The main problem is that I don't feel the air speed difference and also can't relate this to bar pressure, air sound or other indicators. I really do have to learn everything empirically - even by crashing so ultimately I think it'll benefit my learning process. Also I don't know how I managed to do that many (70-80) flights last year without any major crash and have two dangerous ones in first five flights this year. I've decided to go back to basics.
I agree with @pirkebojan. The reason for the sudden right turn was a stall. I'd say that even if you hadn't been cross controlling, it'd have been hard to prevent the crash because of the minimal altitude that was left. It's hard to tell from that perspective but it seems that during your last correction at around 0:47 before entering the stall, you pushed out instead of keeping the same angle of attack or pulling in a little. I made the similar mistakes during my training hill sessions.

and at end you done cross controlling :(
your head go left but legs go right and your full weight for controlling was on middle.

you was close to stall speed :(
and when you try to correct this turn in this situation with your body in left position you must also pull in all way to get speed for response.
you was only left with your body but with no speed glider continue right turn to the ground.
