The Time Masters

Ottawa Premiere of the 4K Restoration!

Directed by visionary Cannes Film Festival award winning science-fiction animator René Laloux (Fantastic Planet) and designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (Alien, Tron, Willow).
French with English subtitles.

A 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 a pilot transporting an exiled Prince and Princess from their former kingdom. They seek the help of a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
