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! Get your teeny tiny eyebrows and best Canadian tux to the Cube for a second annual nostalgiafest of live 00s-core cabaret + a showcase of music video greats. Hair whips! Rain machines! Futuristic filmed-inside-a-cheese-grater favourites! It’ll all be here! Plus it’s Party Girls so: heckling and singalongs are hiiiighly encouraged.
MTV Vol. 2 My Super Sweet Music Video Night at The Cube.
Sell out warning! HB and RIP to the real ones of Hellfire Video Club! The Cube’s glorious B-movie salvagers consign themselves to eternal damnation after one last cinematic dumpster-dive. It’s a Big Apple sleaze special, feat. No Waver Amos Poe’s ludicrously 80s, neon-soaked crime thriller Alphabet City, back-to-back with James Brolin renegade cop rampage Night Of The Juggler.
Hellfire Video Club NYC SCUZZ double bill at The Cube.
Sell out warning! It’s the Cube vs Big Hootenanny – as our beloved outsider microplex at last squares up to the uncontested might of the BBC’s Hogmanay daddy! Expect a smorgasbord of seasonal cabaret, a full-fat boogie-woogie-off and an inevitably harrowing Joolsalike costume showdown, plus plenty more DIY NYE nonsense to bewilder you into 2026.
New Year's Eve Cube-Nanny at The Cube.
Babe II: Thunderdome! In 1998, George Miller catapulted everyone’s favourite little porcine protagonist into a deeply family-unfriendly urban nightmare of Tim Burton/Jean-Pierre Jeunet-style dark cityscapes and merciless narrative nihilism. Pig In The City bombed at the box office and traumatised a whole lot of children in the process. It was worth it.
Christmas Turkeys: Babe II: Pig In The City- 5PM at The Cube.
One of the best films about film ever made! Peeping Tom killed Michael Powell’s career and made a generation of critics see monsters in the mirror. A self-reflexive pre-Psycho proto-slasher that directly implicates the viewer in Carl Boehm’s grisly killings, it’s a masterclass in perversion and subversion that wouldn’t be matched for decades.
