In 1972, Dixelius started his career in journalism as a reporter on the local public service television station in Gothenburg (Västnytt) and later in Sundsvall (Mittnytt). He is best known as a Moscow correspondent for Swedish public radio and television in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He also worked for TV4 in the 1990s and for Viasat during the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.
After twenty years in public radio and television, Dixelius switched to documentary filmmaking in 1993, founding his own production company, Dixit International.
1999-2001 he produced a trailblazing international affairs series for TV4 called pangea.nu. From 2003 Dixelius is involved with Deep Sea Productions, where he has produced the series Wreck Hunters (Swe Vrakletarna, 2007) as well as directing and producing a number of documentary films for the international market.
Together with Russian journalist and writer Andrei Konstantinov, Dixelius has written two books on organized crime in Russia. Since 2015, he is the chairman of the Malik Bendjelloul Memorial Foundation, which runs a fund in support of documentary filmmakers.
