Directed by Shadi Abdel Salam, *The Mummy* (also known as *The Night of Counting the Years*) is a somber, highly stylized film about tomb robbers loosely based on true events. Often considered the *Citizen Kane* of Egyptian cinema, this influential work was specifically chosen by artist Youssef Nabil, whose works are heavily inspired by mid-20th century films. This screening is held in conjunction with the exhibition [*Now Showing: Youssef Nabil’s I Saved My Belly Dancer.*](https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/now-showing-youssef-nabils-i-saved-my-belly-dancer) *The Mummy *(102 minutes) is presented in Arabic with English subtitles. Please note this screening will take place outdoors.
