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! Something is rotten in the state of San Andreas! This is definitely the most charmingly batshit conceit for a documentary we’ve seen in a while: struggling through lockdown, two out-of-work theatre actors chronicle their attempts to mount a full Shakespeare production on the virtual streets of Grand Theft Auto. Thrilling, absurd, and surprisingly poignant.
Grand Theft Hamlet 7.30pm at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Another exclusive cultish disturbance in the Cube x KLF continuum. 40 initiates are invited to experience Bill Drummond’s interpretation of Liverpool post-punk anthems through the mediums of counter-factual Gaelic Psalm, 35mm projections, communal interrogation and whiskey. A once in a lifetime mischievous happening, miss it and it’s gone….
Bill Drummond's Voices From The Galloverse at The Cube.
What a way to start the year! The “eastern to top all westerns”, Kurosawa’s samurai epic is a true triumph of filmmaking, combining historical melodrama, war thriller and moral fable across almost four hours of cinema mastery (don’t worry, there’s an intermission - thanks Cube!)
Seven Samurai 3pm at The Cube.
Float into 2025 in paradigmatic Cuboid fashion! Free of any timekeeping whatsoever, this is your midnight countdown-free, super sensual, true NYE alternative: low in stress, lighting and tempos, high in dreamy visuals and mellow DJ performances - inc one-man chamber orchestra Memotone and mesmeric alt-folkist Rozi Plain. And SOUP!
A Beautiful Place Out In The City at The Cube.
Gluttonously and salaciously grotesque, Peter Greenaway’s controversial cult classic is an anti-Thatcherist, stomach-churning and opulent work featuring some truly iconic performances from Helen Mirren, Michael Gambon and Tim Roth. An unparalleled masterpiece not for the faint of heart. Bon appetit ;)
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover - 7pm at The Cube.
