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! Where were you in ‘92? If it was up at Bagley’s in your Kangols or tearing the bricks down at Castlemorton, this doc salutes you. With an eye-popping anyone-who’s-anyone assemblage of talking heads and rush-inducing archival footage, Rave Culture pulls the neon curtain back on the Second (and last) Summer of Love like nothing before it. Bring Yer Own Vix VapoRub.
RAVE CULTURE: A NEW ERA - Film at The Cube.
Avant-garde luminary and Xiu Xiu member Hyunhye Seo deals a disarming blow of hushed drone, spectral electro-acoustics and neo-classical unravellings. From exploring Sargassoan eel spawning to spatial dialogues, her compositions are profound experimental noise excavations accompanied by spellbinding displays of improv piano prowess. Unmissable FFO: Annea Lockwood, Kali Malone, Thomas Köner.
Hyunhye Seo, Matthew Grigg & Saltings, Prior at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Seek out the dark forces of Party Girl x Fem Top … and join their hellish crusade! An iconic link-up here, showcasing the talents of Bristol’s thriving drag scene alongside a hecklings-encouraged screening of 90s high-camp masterpiece Addams Family Values. Come for the cabaret, stay to collectively lose it every time Joan Cusack’s c*nty lil bob enters the frame!
DRAG FAMILY VALUES: Party Girl Productions x FemTop < 3 at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Part of Bristol Radical History Festival, The Cube screens the seldom-seen 1983 anti-propaganda doc Ireland: The Silent Voices, followed by a dialogue with director Professor Rod Stoneman. The film traces the Northern Ireland conflict while interrogating the frameworks of narrative – revealing how media shapes perception, and scripts our understanding of politics and lived experience.

Sell out warning! The final battle of Fionn MacCumhaill refuses to stay buried as Bodies on the Beach returns to Bristol following December’s sold-out show. Storytellers Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain sift through medieval fragments, song and myth to rebuild a lost Celtic epic. Kinda like The Iliad but Irish (and with a suspiciously magical pig).
