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! The animated film of the decade comes to the Cube! Cute AF interspecies animal cooperation in a wordless post-human world full of subtle mysticism, jaw-dropping beauty and eye-watering emotion. This is understated cinema for the ages; a stunning odyssey unlike anything you’ll see. Meow. Flow - 8pm at The Cube.

BRHF takes to the Cube for Day 2 of its revolutionary programming, diving into 20th century counterculture and resistance in Bristol and beyond. With talks ranging from 1970’s eco-activism to the history of Ireland’s queer punk scenes, plus an unmissable screening of ‘Wapping: The Workers’ Story’, a “modern-day Citizen Kane” charting Fleet Street’s historic year of industrial action against Rupert Murdoch. Bristol Radical History Festival Day 2 at The Cube.

Haunting post-rock laments full of bucolic imagery and eerie melancholy… The Declining Winter swoons with orchestral textures and Richard Adams' soft world-worn vocals. Like a folk tragedy soundtrack or The Leisure Society’s sinister sibling. Immense FFO: Red House Painters, The Microphones, Good Night & Good Morning. The Declining Winter + Pefkin + Coims at The Cube.

Sell out warning! A double headliner of winking, witty art-pop at The Cube. War Against Sleep's Duncan Fleming wrestles Cave-esque dark crooning with irresistible psych-pop melodies, while Emily Breeze’s indie-noir is seductive yet melancholic, uncanny yet anthemic… Patti Smith meets Pulp in paradoxical femme fatale form. Two of Bristol’s best underground songwriters here for sure! Good Friday - Emily Breeze with War Against Sleep at The Cube.

Totally unique live and improvised cinematic experience from the AV-editing, globe-trotting, ethnographic brain of Vincent Moon. Like Alan Lomax meets free jazz (or just LSD meets National Geographic channel), Mr Moon weaves hallucinogenic tapestries from his footage of rare shamanic rituals, accapella mountain songs and scenes from the global village. Vincent Moon's Cinema w/ Dali de Saint Paul at The Cube.
