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. The Mummy (102 minutes) is presented in Arabic with English subtitles. Please note this screening will take place outdoors.
