Featurette
Featurette is a term used in the American film industry to designate a film whose length is approximately three quarters of a reel, or about 20-44 minutes in running time - thus midway between a short subject and a feature film; thus it is a "small feature" ("ette" is a common diminutive word ending derived from French). The term was commonly used from before the start of the sound era into the 1960s, when films of such length stopped being made or were made as experimental or art films and subsumed under the more general rubric of short.
