In the era of the modern documentary, rare is the film-maker who prays that nothing out of the ordinary happens on the day of shooting. Yet that was exactly the concern on Volker Heise's mind a year ago today, when he began filming his real-time study of Jerusalem, an ambitious multi-camera, multiple-perspective study that aims to look beyond the city's headlines and present the everyday stories of the people that live there.

More Berlinale coverage
Berlin -- The project: "24h Berlin," a 24-hour documentary capturing one day in the life of Germany's capital. The team: A 400-person crew with 70 directors under the guidance of director Volker Heise and producer Thomas Kufus. The budget: Less than $4 million.
"It's pretty ambitious, pretty crazy actually," Thomas Kufus of Berlin's Zero One Films says of his his company's epic documentary "24h Berlin." "No one has ever attempted something like this before -- trying to capture an entire city in one day."
The crazy idea came from Heise, Kufus' partner, and director of the award-winning reality series "Schwarzwaldhaus 1902."
