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! Bet you don't even know one Welsh language horror classic, do you? Well now you know two, just in case Anwyn crosses your path on Noson Galan Gaeaf and berates you for your Anglocentric grasp of the folk horror tradition. These are classics obscured by the mists of time no more, with demonic choirboys and pagan artefacts stalking hills pregnant with mystery. The train to Newport will never be the same again...
O'R DDAEAR HEN at The Cube.
The occult roots of Blondie, who knew? Here's a sit down for the uninitiated with Gary Lachman, rock'n'roll scenester and Colin Wilson adept, joining the dots between Crowley and CBGBs, magick and the 'Merican dream in this live memoire from a life most extraordinary.
Touched by the presence , from rock and roll to the occult - Gary Lachman at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Come commune with the music of the stones: TSHNE continues to astound after THAT intimate Bridget St John happening with Incredible String Band treasure Robin Williamson – the arch bard of UK outsider folk – gracing the lil ol’ Microplex. Undiminished by time, he performs with longtime partner Bina on a stunning set of Celtic and Indian traditionals. Intricate, eccentric magic.
Visionary folk duo alongside innovative traditional instrumentalists
For anyone fascinated by eccentric thinkers, mysticism and the paranormal, it's time to get acquainted with Colin Wilson. This mammoth 6 hour screening is the definitive guide to the life of the self-taught philosopher, literary outsider and founder of ‘new existentialism’, who went from sleeping on the streets to penning 100+ consciousness-expanding tomes.
A rare chance to see the new 6 part series that takes a deep dive into British thinker and writer Colin Wilson' s life and thought.
Sell out warning! Bristol Porn Festival digs into the raunchier end of the moving image, bringing together short films by queer artists and sex-workers from Bristol and beyond. Hosted by local filthmongers Maya Poison and Pixie Sin, with ceramic awards for the evening’s most salacious offerings hand-crafted by Bunny Royle. Leave your inhibitions at the door....
Bristol's first film festival dedicated to erotic art films, highlighting the local sex worker community as well as international artists.
