Gunnar Dedio

Gunnar Dedio founded the film production company, LOOKSfilm, in 1995. Impressive archival footage is typical for LOOKSfilm's more than 200 film and series productions - many of them award-winning. In 2019, due to his love for film and photo archives, Dedio took over PROGRESS, one of Europe's largest archives, which contains, among other things, the entire film heritage of the GDR - thousands of previously unseen treasures from life east of the Iron Curtain. PROGRESS digitizes film and photo collections from all over the world and, with the help of human and artificial intelligence, makes them accessible to the worldwide community of filmmakers through the platform www.progress.film.
