Zeki Yahya is a Baghdad-born director, editor, and visual storyteller whose cinematic language bridges the gap between investigative analysis and philosophical inquiry. With a background in investigative journalism, Yahya’s work explores the intersection of truth, the human subconscious, and digital evolution. His filmography, including the internationally recognized "The Illusion Industry" and his latest philosophical exploration "The Great City," reflects a deep influence of existentialist thought and the Tarkovskian tradition. As a pioneer in integrating AI Visual Direction with cinematic dramaturgy, Yahya is a prominent voice in the Iraqi new wave, dedicated to using cinema as a medium for intellectual liberation and visual poetry, "He is currently in the final post-production stages of his upcoming conceptual project, 'Archaeology of Unborn Faces'."
