The collaboration with Aleksandr Sokurov on films like MOLOCH or FATHER AND SON and FRANCOPHONIA was highly acclaimed and awarded in Cannes.

We produce films with socio-political relevance that challenge conventional perspectives, stimulate debate and break new ground in terms of both form and content. In our work, we value trusting collaboration with creative professionals, filmmakers and partners with whom we have built long-standing and friendly relationships.

With 24H BERLIN the team broke new grounds, provoking broadcasters to cast aside the traditional slot structure for the duration of 24h allowing for a so far unprecedented 24 hours documentary. In 2010, 24H BERLIN won the Bavarian TV Award as well as the German TV award. With 24H JERUSALEM a follow-up of the award winning format was created, which was successfully broadcast on April 12th 2014 and won the German TV Award. In 2016 the format continued with 24H BAVARIA, in May 2019 24H EUROPE was broadcasted all over Europe in 7 different languages.

The managing director of zero one film is the company's founder and producer Thomas Kufus, who has been working alongside Bianca Krippendorf since December 2023. Thomas Kufus was chairman of the German Film Academy for six years, and zero one film is a member of the production alliance.
