I would use a file explorer app to search for it. You said that a shorter video you recorded is saved, therefore your phone had to name the file, ie. "Vid0001" if you know the name of the shorter file, drop the number designation and search for the first part of the file name. In my above example I would search "Vid" this should give you a list of all your videos. (make sure you are searching through the entire phone, including an SD Card you may have installed) if you normally don't record 13 minute videos the largest file should be the video you are looking for.
Good luck, if you deleted the video then you may need to plug the phone into a computer and try a file recovery program. I have used them with mixed results.
Good luck
