George Fanto (1911–2000) was a Hungarian-born cinematographer. Fanto made films in different countries, but most notably settled in Brazil where he worked in the local film industry including several films for the leading studio Cinédia.[1] Fanto worked with Orson Welles when he was in Brazil for It's All True, his ultimately unfinished documentary about Brazilian life. During the project he and Welles developed a close friendship.[2] Fanto was later employed on Welles' Othello (1951).
