Chapterplays or serials were 15 to 20 minute shorts shown as chapters over a 12 to 15 week period in theaters. Flash Gordon is probably the most famous of these type of films sometimes called cliffhangers, due to the unresolved climatic end each week that enticed patrons to come back following week to see how imperiled hero escaped death. Since they are not a single short film, but rather a 12 to 15 theatrical series, I think that Serial should be included as a separate film type along with Movie, Short and TV Movie.
