There are many reasons you should become a member at Austin Film Society, but one of the best is the perk of Member Monday, a free screening every month. AFS’ fire programming ensures even the most avid film buff will be introduced to some hidden gem; for example, this Monday, they show 1982 sci-fi animated epic Time Masters. AFS sets the bait: “On the desert planet of Perdide, Piel, a small boy and the lone survivor of a giant hornet attack, awaits rescue by a motley crew of space voyagers led by the pilot adventurer Jaffar. But will the renegade team arrive before the boy succumbs to the dangers of this strange world?” Fans of psychedelic masterpiece Fantastic Planet might want to pull up, because this is directed by the same guy, René Laloux. – Lina Fisher
