Feature Length

Feature length is motion picture terminology referring to the length of a feature film. According to the rules of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a feature length motion picture must have a running time of more than 40 minutes to be eligible for an Academy Award.

The term may also be applied to non-feature films with the minimum length, such as television movies and direct-to-video releases.

Feature length can also be used to describe an episode of a TV series that has been extended to the length of a feature film. Such feature length episodes are usually series pilots, holiday specials or season finales.
