The Cube
Independent cinema which also hosts regular gigs and music.
The Cube is a real asset to Bristol, an independent cinema run by volunteers with original programming. In addition to films and live music the 105 seat cinema is also used for workshops and discussions.
In essence The Cube shows the films you actually want to see, avoiding pure 'arthouse' programming. Expect to find Hollywood's (occasional) decent offerings listed alongside quality foreign and independent films as well as a few cult classics. Wednesday mornings (11am) is BabyCinema where babies are welcome while Wednesday evenings is BlueScreen - a sort of open mic night but for short films.
While often folk or indie based, gig listings for The Cube can really vary. The level of crowd interaction at the Cube can make it a great venue to catch one off shows from electronica producers to experimental artists.

Our recent recommendations for The Cube
Sell out warning! Crazy intimate solo appearance from THE blues-blister anomaly Bill Orcutt. His lone improv guitar presentations are a cultural exorcism of the ghosts of Harry Pussy, Derek Bailey and Blind Willie Johnson in transcendent shredded shards of notes. The perfect prelude to his trio appearance at Bristol New Music – all the truest avant-blues nuts will need a ticket for both!

A globe-spanning, brain-expanding double billing crammed into the Micro-est of plexes! Luck and Czyżyk’s hallucinatory practices of docu-collage + live improvisations using stones, shells and nature’s non-instruments meld together with Tehran-born composer Rojin Sharafi’s genre-splintering electroacoustic worlds. If it ain’t borderline incomprehensible to the uninitiated it just ain't Tough Sell!

Sell out warning! Outsider artist sans pareil, the world is a lot less magical for the loss of legendary freak folk troubadour Michael Hurley. A year on, a loving gathering of Cube kinfolk honours his life with Rozi Plain, Rachael Dadd, Herbal Tea + more performing their interpretations of Hurley treasures, alongside a selection of rare films and cartoon curiosities from the archives. Rest in power beautiful Snock!
UNDER THE PROPOSAL TREE at The Cube.
Winter is out, the cursed French Parent Trap is IN! An unlikely friendship leads to a carefully orchestrated romantic reshuffle in Éric Rohmer’s A Tale Of Springtime, the mischievous opening chapter in his acclaimed 90s tetralogy. Sun-dappled social gamesmanship and dinner table philosophy abound – it’s a psychosexual comedy of manners for all seasons.
A Tale of Springtime 8pm at The Cube.
Sell out warning! 50 years ago, Derek Jarman’s gorgeously homoerotic reimagining of Sebastian’s martyrdom set the scene for his own canonisation as patron saint of 20th century queer cinema. Eno-soundtracked and scripted entirely in Latin, Sebastiane is a fever dream of frustrated desire and a sweat-slicked hymn to male beauty, brought back to the big screen by Gay Sex Tuesdays cum amore.
