In the framework of the public program of 'Thief of Baghdad', Dar El-Nimer and Institut Français du Liban invite you to a screening of 'Ali Baba et les 40 Voleurs', starring Fernandel and Samia Gamal, and followed by a Q&A with poster collector Abboudi Abou Jaoudé.

With stolen loot from a mysterious cave, Ali Baba buys Morgiane, a dancer who he loves, yet who belonged to his master Cassim. After becoming immensely rich, Ali Baba wants to share his fortune with everyone around him, without avoiding envy and trouble from his master.

Abboudi Abou Jaoudé is a Beirut-based publisher and avid collector of cultural and political posters. His collection accumulated to 550 original posters and 300 pictures and press books from around 20 countries. 'Thief of Baghdad', Dar El-Nimer's current exhibition (until May 25th, 2019), was curated from Abboudi Abou Jaoudé's vast collection of film posters.
