Which film director had Egyptian heritage, Jehane Noujaim or Frank Henenlotter?
Frank Henenlotter Frank Henenlotter (born August 29, 1950 in New York City), is an American screenwriter, film director and film historian. He is known primarily for his horror comedies, though he would prefer to be classified as an "exploitation" filmmaker (rather than horror). "I never felt that I made ‘horror films’, he has said. "I always felt that I made exploitation films. Exploitation films have an attitude more than anything – an attitude that you don’t find with mainstream Hollywood productions. They’re a little ruder, a little raunchier, they deal with material people don’t usually touch on, whether it’s sex or drugs or rock and roll."
The Night of Counting the Years The Night of Counting the Years, a.k.a. The Mummy (Arabic: "Al-Mummia" المومياء) is a 1969 Egyptian film directed by Shadi Abdel Salam.

The film was selected as the Egyptian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 43rd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
