Cinema Tehran presents: The Great Yawn of History - Q&A with Director & Actor

Cinema Tehran presents The Great Yawn of History, a new discovery from the Iranian underground, shown for the first time.

A man recruits an assistant for a high-risk treasure hunt, pulling them both into the heart of a country haunted by its past and unsure of its future. Part road movie, part mystery, and a sharp allegory for contemporary Iran, The Great Yawn of History captures the restless dreams of a generation cutting themselves loose from the weight of history and daring to imagine something new.

Winner of the Jury Award at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival.
