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.
Sell out warning! B movie black magic meets Mexican wrestling exploitation - the Panther Women is a one-of-a-kind cocktail of blood rituals, evil warlocks, topless crime-solvers and rapid luchadora ring-action. A delirious 60s cinema mashup no fan of low-budget horror should live without.
The Panther Women at The Cube.
Truly something for everyone at this mega Enter the Noid outing; blissed-out guitar-pop, improv drone, abrasive noise, “Cy-Baroque Anti Folk Pop Violence” and a star-studded crew on the decks, including Alya L and Øphanim. Plus a sent from heaven top-secret headliner you wouldn’t normally get to catch in such a small cap space. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out.
Day Into Night at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Heart-wrenching doc recounting the violent erasure of the West Bank Masafer Yatta community by bulldozers and military forces. Born from a unique alliance between a Palestinian activist and Israeli journalist which grows into an uneasy friendship hounded by inequality - this is vital viewing for all humans.
No Other Land - 8pm at The Cube.
Misfits on the margins, unite! At least Margin Forever gets you, dialling in an all-dayer of unruly sonic rule breaking with no-wave electro-trash yelpers Fashion Tips (ft. Esmé from Penance Stare), grungy twerk-breaks from Bambi Redux, Milkweed’s mystical tape-damaged anti-folk + much much more.
Fashion Tips, Milkweed, Yol + Stacks more at The Cube.
A parade of illustrious deceased bards channelled through the bodies of Bristol’s most outrageous gaggle of performance art gremlins? We’ve fact-checked everything, and that’s the most we can glean from this spurious and mystical offering that’s got more dead-ends than a Dan Brown past life regression transcript. Expect esoteric post-truth poetry and puppetry with lashings of Dante drag for downtrodden and curious souls.
