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
At last! The enigmatic psych-folk sorceress and recent AD 93 alum makes her highly anticipated mark on Bristol. Dagmar drifts between raw musique concrète and gorgeous, haunted berceuses, layering phantom vocals with decaying Tascam distortion. Big one for fans of the daydreamer lulls of Joanne Robertson, Amateur Hour, Ignatz and Grouper.
Dagmar Zuniga at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Sought-after NYC pianist Kelly Moran has lent her touch to everyone from FKA twigs and The Avalanches to Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yves Tumor. Now firmly at home on Warp, she conjures spellbinding modern classical and electronica with dazzling techgnostic finesse. Expansive, dreamlike pieces drifting somewhere between Caterina Barbieri, John Cage and Julianna Barwick… tip!

Sell out warning! Bin Nolan! And descend into the mysteries of the ancient world with Crick Crack Club thespian and live performance storyteller Lucy Lill. She reimagines the words of Greece’s doom-dealing oracles, exploring their otherworldly power and the fine line between divine wisdom and political theatre. No refunds for bad omens…
DOOM SCROLLS - the never-ending prophecies of the Sibyls at The Cube.
An early deep-cut from Iran’s greatest director, the late master Abbas Kiarostami. His difficult-to-find debut – in which a young boy is determined to reach a football match against all odds – is characteristically ambiguous yet humane, offering a vivid snapshot of the childhood experience on par with ‘Where Is the Friend's House?’ Essential viewing for Kiarostami heads and first-timers alike.
The Traveler 8pm at The Cube.
Triple-headed TSHNE billing of woooooozy singer-songwriter gold dust ft. Skydaddy’s intricately orchestrated chamber psych-pop, Mia Wilson’s lush Laurel Canyon dreaming + our favourite local alt-country freak folker Nile Robinson. A total knockout FFO: Andy Shauf, Cass McCombs, Joni Mitchell, Kurt Vile.
