Free Movie Night: El Sett

Who was Umm Kulthum?

Before streaming. Before social media. Before global pop stars. There was Umm Kulthum – the woman whose voice brought an entire region to a standstill.

Millions across the Arab world gathered around radios to hear her sing. Her concerts could last for hours. Heads of state admired her. Audiences crossed continents to see her perform. More than a singer, she became a symbol of resilience, artistry, and Arab identity.

Join us for a free screening of El Sett (الست), the acclaimed new Egyptian film that tells the extraordinary story of Umm Kulthum's rise from a small village girl to one of the most influential artists in modern history.

Whether you grew up listening to her music or have never heard her name before, this is a rare opportunity to discover the woman behind the legend.

Optional Dinner – 7:00 PM ($15)
Film Screening – 7:30 PM (FREE)

Come experience the story of a woman whose voice shaped generations and continues to inspire the Arab world today.
