Matthew Williams / Director of Photography. This is my reel from the 70mm IMAX® film... "Journey To Mecca" (*This aspect ratio is cropped to a wide screen ratio, not the full 1:34 IMAX® format).

"Journey to Mecca" is an IMAX® dramatic and documentary feature that tells the amazing story of Ibn Battuta, the greatest explorer of the Old World, following his first pilgrimage between 1325 and 1326 from Tangier to Mecca.

Ibn Battuta is one of the greatest travelers in history, journeying three times further than Marco Polo. "JOURNEY TO MECCA" tells the dramatic story of Ibn Battuta's perilous and awe-inspiring two year journey from Tangiers to Mecca in the 1320's, and includes extraordinary footage of the Hajj as it was experienced in the 14th century through dramatic re-creation.
