Travel2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY IN 70MM 


A Video by & FeaturingVikrant PatankarMusicJohn Kander, Johann Strauss II, Richard Strauss, & Lin-Manuel Miranda

A New York City vlog built around a cinematic pilgrimage: watching Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm at the Museum of the Moving Image.What began as a high school viewing on a smartphone — slow, unrewarding — became a lockdown revelation and eventually a 5-star Letterboxd entry with a vow to see it on film.Ostensibly in town for a friend's wedding, the trip becomes a love letter to the theatrical experience — Broadway nights with Chicago and a soul-shaking Hamilton, rooftop reflections on why NYC feels like home (part South Bombay, part HSR Layout, part Delhi), and the quiet conviction that if cinema is a religion, visiting movie theaters is the pilgrimage we must take.
