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
50 years ago, Derek Jarman’s gorgeously homoerotic reimagining of St Sebastian’s martyrdom set the scene for his own canonisation as patron saint of 20th century queer cinema. Eno-soundtracked and scripted entirely in Latin, Sebastiane is a fever dream of frustrated desire and a sweat-slicked hymn to male beauty, brought back to the big screen by Gay Sex Tuesdays cum amore.
GAY SEX TUESDAYS PRESENTS: Sebastiane 8pm at The Cube.
Vital showcase of short docs that’ve risen above the violent censorship of Myanmar’s military dictatorship to enlighten the global community. Educate yourself with a Q&A panel of exiled citizens and fill your belly with Burmese street food while raising funds for medical aid and relief efforts.
The Burmese fight for freedom told in five films at The Cube.
Two deranged ‘80s cult relics in one lil Microplex! In Runaway Nightmare, bored desert men unearth a buried woman and tumble headlong into a surreal all-female cult. In Nightmare Weekend, a scientist’s mind-control computer ensnares his daughter in a hallucinatory swirl of sex, puppets, and murder. Gloriously incomprehensible chaos.
Hellfire Video Club at The Cube.
Delegates from Turin – the land of chocolate liquor and autonomous spaces – interrogate the Microplex hivemind in a 2 day exchange of gonzo DIY culture. Inside: impressionistic films mapping the city’s rapidly disappearing squat culture, AV Jumblesail inna perverse trash media clash with circuit glitch hero Craxi Driver, Jabu’s Guest serenading you with her light-controlled organelle + more inexplicable Euro weirdness.
Like Static in the Dust at The Cube.
A Mossy Margins matinee to soothe yr Sunday scaries: Lawi Anywar’s funk-tinged art rock makes a rare solo appearance alongside DIY indie/anti-folk scene supergroup Lou Moon, Pal & Perkie, and Carnivorous Plants’ Owen Chambers weaving hypnotic lo-fi drone as Tremolo Ghosts.
