About us

ALEF UK is a British independent film & TV production company led by Gilles Bannier as Creative Director. The company is backed by Paris-based sister company ALEF ONE, founded by Nora Melhli and Arthur Essebag, one of France’s most successful independent producers. Based in London, our focus is producing stories that move and provoke whilst revealing universal human truths. Like our sister company, we are driven by a shared commitment to creating stories that reflect the richness of society, guided by the experiences of diverse and complex characters. Our motto: no borders, no taboos.
