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.

A Mossy Margins matinee to soothe yr Sunday scaries: Lawi Anywar’s funk-tinged art rock makes a rare solo appearance alongside DIY indie/anti-folk scene supergroup Lou Moon, Pal & Perkie, and Carnivorous Plants’ Owen Chambers weaving hypnotic lo-fi drone as Tremolo Ghosts.

The ugliest weekend of the year or your ears back. Monochrome rises from the human cesspit, dragging 18 acts to shore for the freak metal cyberdance cvlt. Dare you miss the first visitation in 7 years from transcendent DMT death juggernauts Grave Miasma + Maurice de Jong donning industrial keller synth AND devotional dark ambient masks ++ Nerve Peel’s deadly digital hardcore x Darkthrone fusion? Nope.

GET INTO MY SWAMP! An ogre-loving ode to collective brainrot and meme culture, Shrek Retold is an absurd scene-for-scene recreation of everyone’s favourite millennial artefact made by 200+ artists/animators/YouTube weirdos in wildly different styles – please bring your extremely offline friend and watch their head melt. Followed by an off-the-wall Shrek-themed celebration in the Cube bar (of course).
