8.0 2026 12 min Iraq

Director: Zeki Yahya

Drawing from Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical masterpiece *Thus Spoke Zarathustra*, THE GREAT CITY becomes a deep cinematic meditation on the nature of truth amid the digital wreckage of today’s world. It journeys through the mind of the “Last Man,” delving into the soul’s growing wasteland and the blind spots of human awareness. With a quiet, somber visual style, the film dares viewers to face the falsehoods of modern life and the struggle for real purpose in a time of total spiritual emptiness.
