Full film: a complete story in one piece
A full film is a finished piece with a beginning and an end, shown whole rather than as a trailer or an excerpt. On AI showcases it usually runs from under a minute to about eight. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Higgsfield files several works as full films, beside its episodes. Revid numbers three films and prints their running times, the shortest at 0:28 and the longest at 2:01. Runway's festival winners run from 4:19 to 8:21.
A full film tests continuity within one piece: the same faces across cuts, spaces that stay put, a story that resolves.
It is still one piece. A series asks the same of every episode and of the joins between them, which no single film can show.
Where a showcase prints running times, it is worth reading them against the claim: a film of under half a minute is closer to a scene.
