Al Araba Al Madfuna III, is a 2015 Egyptian movie, directed by Wael Shawky. with a runtime of 23 minutes.
Al Araba Al Madfuna III is the concluding film in artist Wael Shawky's trilogy named after an Egyptian village whose shamans reportedly urged inhabitants to dig underground tunnels, uncovering a network of ancient temples and Pharaonic treasures. As in the earlier installments, children perform the roles while dubbed in classical Arabic with adult voices, creating an uncanny layering of innocence and authority. Shot entirely in photographic negative, the film deepens the sense of wonder, alienation, and estrangement that defines the trilogy, while reflecting on the reversals of heroic roles across centuries of history and legend.
