In 1986 he received his doctorate at the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium, with a dissertation on "Werner Herzog and the Rhenish Mysticism" (French book edition under the title Werner Herzog et la mystique rhénane published by L'âge d'homme , Lausanne , 1986).

From 1998 Gabrea worked again in Bucharest, first as President of the National Film Office in the Romanian Ministry of Culture, then as producer, director and author. Gabrea also taught at the University of Theater and Film in Bucharest.
