The Mummy / The Night of Counting the Years (Al-Mummia)
The most famous of Egyptian auteur films and one credited with contributing to the shaping of Egyptian cinematic national identity, The Mummy’s ritualistic atmosphere is beautifully calibrated by Shabi Abdel Salam, in this restored print. The film tells of a fatal predicament facing the ancient Horbat tribe, setting a deadly moral dilemma at Deir al-Bahari, the site of the discovery of the legendary cache of royal mummies in 1881. The exteriors, filmed exclusively at dawn and dusk, lend the film an eerie, evocative quality. Ella Shohat Professor of Art, Public Policy and Middle Eastern Studies, NYU; Affiliated Faculty, NYUAD
