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
Rescue your single friends from retching at the management consultants of Hinge with a night of experimental wingmanning! As they sit back and rest their gnarled little swiping fingers, you pitch their lovability to a baying crowd of amorous Cubesters through any and all mediums: jabber devotedly about their spoon-whittling skills, recite a sonnet to their cursed meme addiction, screen a fanvid of their karaoke caterwaulings… the matchmaking floor is yours!!!
Loneliness Epidemic - Experimental Dating Série #1 at The Cube.
Sell out warning! An impactful fundraiser screening of Pakistani director Saim Siddiq’s acclaimed 2022 debut, with profits to local LGBTQ+ refugee support group Pride Without Borders. Part family saga, part queer awakening drama, Joyland is a tender, complex study of connection and isolation across gender norms and cultural taboos.
Joyland: A Screening by RepresentAsian at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Once seen, it's impossible to unsee. Lynch's nightmarish DIY destruction of the fourth, fifth and sixth walls of cinema needs to be witnessed again and again and again and again. Especially in classic arthouse midnight movie format at Bristol’s microplex sanctum for the dearly-departed chain-smoking dreamweaver.
MIDNIGHT MOVIE: ERASERHEAD at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Mystery-drama meets gothic horror in 1900s Victoria – this is *the* defining film of the Australian New Wave! Sexual repression and girlhood anxiety abounds in Peter Weir’s masterpiece about the disappearance of a group of private school students and its aftermath. A visually astounding fever dream that left its mark on ‘The Virgin Suicides’ and beyond.
Picnic at Hanging Rock 8pm at The Cube.
Able Noise are a Cube no-brainer! Their deconstructed post-rock undulates woozily between minimalism and maximalism in a time-bending, freeform interplay of collapsing loops, snatched fragments and percussive textures. Plus glitchy folktronica duo Milkweed and a debut show for Eva May & Tara Clerkin Trio’s Pat Benjamin. Huge FFO: Slint, Still House Plants, Lifted.
