Gunnar Dedio, born in 1969, grew up in Rostock, on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall. He witnessed the fall of the Wall, studied in Germany and France and founded his film production company, LOOKSfilm, in 1995. Most of LOOKSfilm's over 200 film and series productions – many of them award- winning – go to the heart of the story. They tell us about history from different perspectives, by the very people who made it, combining it with impressive archive footage. 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 collections, the entire film heritage of the East Germany – thousands of previously unseen treasures from life east of the Iron Curtain.
