What is a short film?

A short film is any film that is not long enough to be thought of as a feature film. But people can not decide what the boundary is for the length. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences define a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits".
In North America a short film usually runs in 20-40 minutes and focuses mainly on character but in places including Europe and New Zealand a short film can be anything between 1 and 15 minutes and focuses mainly on story line and twists.
