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
A quadruple bill of oddball sonics for Mouthfeel’s Xmas shubz at The Cube. In the mix: Kar Pouzi’s melding baritone sax and electronix, Copper Sounds’ epic sonic sculpture meets electro-acoustic mastery, Jo Hellier’s operatic melodrama, and Raina Greifer’s grotesque festive cabaret. Freax to the front!

The Cube’s Czech fever lasts well past Czechtember! In Václav Vorlíček’s classic fairytale adaptation, Cinderella is no meek housebound girl but a mischievous equestrian who hunts, flirts, and wields three magical acorns, aided by her clever owl Rozárka. Playful, wholesome, and radical, Three Wishes rewrites the Brothers Grimm with singular Czech wit and charm.
Three Wishes For Cinderella - 6pm at The Cube.
A sharp slap to true crime’s guilty conscience! Winner of Sundance’s NEXT Innovator Award, Charlie Shackleton’s Zodiac Killer Project dissects the genre with dry wit and honesty. Over Bay Area backdrops and junkyard B-roll, Shackleton narrates the ghost of a film he never made in a meta elegy for our morbid obsessions and the salacious myths they breed.
Zodiac Killer Project 7.30pm at The Cube.
The people’s UK underground princess returns to Bristol hot on the heels of her stunning Local Action debut. One third of Microplastics – with fellow mischief makers Aya and 96 Back – Jennifer Walton’s tender post-rock melancholia and woozy dreamstate avant-pop is going to be nothing short of magic. Big tip!
Jennifer Walton, Shoplifting1080p, Lowkey-E + DJs at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Annemarie Jacir’s historical epic tells the story of life in 1930s Palestine and the local uprising against British colonial rule. Using rare archival footage, Palestine 36 casts a timely light on Britain’s long-standing legacy of violence in the Middle East and is a powerful testament to Palestinian resistance. Catch it screening at The Cube as part of PFF 2025.
