Bana is the star of the feature film "The Dry" which will be screening at Reardon Theatre.
The screening of the hit film will serve as a fundraiser for Belfast Aquatics.
Current COVID restrictions mean the audience will be capped at 100.
Tickets are $20 and need to be booked at the Port Fairy Film Society website.
Tickets will also be available on the night at the door, but only if they are not sold to the COVID capacity.
The screening is another step on the comeback trail for the film society, which has had its activities severely dented by the COVID pandemic.
All screenings were suspended in March 2020 and did not return until May this year.
Ensuing lockdowns have also interrupted the planned program since the return.
Many community groups hold film nights as fundraisers and Belfast Aquatics secretary Martina Murrihy said it was much appreciated.
"It's a really good fundraiser and one we have used a bit in the past so it is good to be back," Mrs Murrihy said
"We really appreciate the support from the Port Fairy Film Society, as I'm sure the rest of the community does.
"To have a film like The Dry is a real bonus, we have had great feedback that people are really keen to watch it on the big screen."
The Dry starts at 7.30pm.
