Where is a discussion of everything that's appropriate to go in this category? I've read the contribution rules and I'm not sure this is covered. I have a Film Movement DVD and every month they include a short film.

Here is the one I found.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Yes, the short film is an "Other" feature.

How does the packaging treat the short film?  As a part of the month's offering or as a bonus feature?

If the former, you could use Episode Dividers to profile cast and crew below the long form film.  Then put the title of the short in the Original Title field like a double-feature disc:  "Long Form Title / Short Film Title"  That way you can search for the title.

If the latter, you could use a manual child profile if you are so inclined.

I have several releases from Film Movement.  Each release contains a main film and a short film.  Different cases treat them differently.  However, each of them calls them "This Month's Short Film" and they are accessible directly from the menu.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
