The Cube

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! Make no mistake, THIS is the Gay Sex Tuesday agenda! These perverts want to destroy the traditional weekend! They’ll force their slutty temporal deviance on you and your loved ones! Meet us at the Cube auditorium to protest this calendar-defying filth, where we’ll also be taking a long, hard look at the jaw-dropping output of 80s Tom-of-Finland-hunk-come-to-life Al Parker… for research purposes… GAY SEX TUESDAYS does Friday night 7.30pm at The Cube.

You know when you fall for a guy, but he’s like, totally a warlock? In a Necronomicon-y wants to sacrifice you kinda way? Spoiler alert: it never ends well (but does make for a cracking flick). The Dunwich Horror is the Everest of Lovecraft adaptations: arcane low-budget evil with a mega dose of kill-all-hippies downer psychedelia. Cthulu compels you! To the Cube! HIPPY TRIPPY SUMMER X THE CUBE OF WYRDING: THE DUNWICH HORROR at The Cube.

Taboos, desires and queer liberation… lubricated by an unholy quantity of goo! Experimental comedy meets bodily fluid performance art, deep in the recesses of the Primal Bog: after scrambling minds and pushing the limits of on-stage decency at the Fringe, Rosa Garland’s a shoe-in for a night of carnal Tough Sell x Cube clownery. Tough Sell x Bighead Comedy: Primal Bog by Rosa Garland + more at The Cube.

The Cube’s 60s love-in marches boldly down the rabbit hole with this righteously experimental document of London’s psychedelic culture. It’s a freewheeling, icon-studded patchwork of Austin Powers proportions, with pre-casualty Syd Barrett in Interstellar Overdrive, freak folk treasure Vashti Bunyan, Hockney out-camping himself (RIP), beefeaters, massive sunglasses, massive sideburns. Peak flower power! HIPPY TRIPPY SUMMER PRESENTS: TONITE, LET'S ALL MAKE LOVE IN LONDON at The Cube.

A transcendental meeting of seasoned jazz travellers with subversive architects of chamber drone drift! Three groups rise from the shifting sands of the Avonian improv scene to wash the Cube in twinkling neo-classical ivory, cello that scratches and soothes, and kiddie-chaos percussive bursts. Soul food FFO: The Necks, ECM, Don Cherry, Alice Coltrane. Rah + Persimmonomenon + Oliver Brouwer & Luigi Marino at The Cube.
