tevens production designer   

*  1917, Budapest, Hungary - † 1994

Opleiding:      Academy of Fine Arts, Budapest (painting, set design);  Academy for Theater and Film Art, Budapest

Former theater director who found his form with the emergence of the Hungarian New Wave in the 1950s. Fábri's films usually explore anti-Fascist themes and he is best remembered for Merry-Go-Round (1955) and Professor Hannibal (1956); later work, with the exception of some intelligently made films on social issues in the 60s, proved largely disappointing.
