Siamsa Tíre Screen Film Club screens in Tralee every Tuesday at 7:00pm, bringing a curated run of independent, world and festival cinema to the National Folk Theatre’s screen. The programme is put together by Kerry International Film Festival, the county’s own festival, which uses the weekly slot to keep a year-round audience for the kind of film that does not always reach Kerry’s commercial screens. The next screening falls on Tuesday, 28 July 2026.
Films rotate weekly and span narrative features, documentaries and animation, generally running an hour and a half to two hours, with the club deliberately mixing well-known festival titles with smaller, less obvious picks that KIFF’s programmers rate highly. Tickets cost €8, or €7.50 each for groups of ten or more, plus a standard booking fee, and advance booking is recommended since Tuesday nights can sell out for popular titles. The film club sits alongside Siamsa Tíre’s wider identity as Ireland’s National Folk Theatre, which otherwise runs a full season of drama, comedy, music and dance through the same building, so a Tuesday night screening is usually a quieter, smaller-scale visit than a weekend show. Kerry International Film Festival also uses the club to build an audience toward its own festival programme and its separate KIFF Film Club strand, which returns in November.
Siamsa Tíre is in Tralee’s Town Park, a short walk from the town’s bus and rail station, the terminus of the Dublin to Tralee railway line. Kerry Airport at Farranfore is about 16km away, with central car parks close by.
Tralee is Kerry’s county town, and a Tuesday night at the Screen Film Club is an easy way to fill an evening in the middle of a longer stay. There is more to see in Tralee and across Co. Kerry.
