The Time Masters
(René Laloux 1982, 79 min, France, in French with English subtitles, DCP)
New 4K Restoration!
Directed by visionary sci-fi animator René Laloux (Fantastic Planet) and co-written and designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Mœbius), The Time Masters is a trippy, visually fantastic foray into existentialist space adventure. After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar, a pilot transporting an exiled Prince and Princess from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad, a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including treacherous caves, brain-devouring hornets and watery graves.
Screen/Society screenings are free and open to the public.
