Triskel Arts Centre — Attraction in Cork

I attended 3 of the David Lynch screenings here, and unfortunately, I can't recommend this venue for viewing films. The pews are painfully uncomfortable to sit in for any prolonged duration of time. The discomfort and pain detract entirely from the film. The room, unfortunately, is far too bright, with a glowing exit sign shining toward the right hand aisle and reflecting off the wooden floor and surrounds, so don't sit in the front rows if you'd like to try and avoid this.

We arrived a few minutes before 7 PM, on Friday the 4th, but the guy at the reception desk of the Triskel Arts Centre said he knew nothing about it and didn’t understand how such a projection could even work, since it’s still light outside at 7 PM.

According to the website, the program is actually on view from October 15th to April 30th.
