¢Documentary is a depiction or direct filming ("cinema vérité") of a real life situation rather than a fictional story.

¢A documentary generally describes a film about real people and real situations without a script.

¢A documentary is nonfiction.

¢A short film is strictly on time. You can have a short documentary (half hour or so) and a short film can be on anything (fact or fiction).

¢Short film just describes any movie under 40 minutes. So yes a documentary can be a short film.

¢A short film is short.
