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

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.

Sell out warning! A prolific 21st century titan of sprawling post-rock drone, Nadja’s Aidan Baker drowns the Cube in his spectral guitar drift with A-Sun Amissa’s cinematic neo-classical disintegrations. Embrace the infinite FFO: Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Belong, GY!BE, Jesu, Oren Ambarchi, Deaf Center. Aidan Baker | A-Sun Amissa | Sulk Rooms at The Cube.

Sell out warning! Vital showcase of short docs that’ve risen above the violent censorship of Myanmar’s military dictatorship to enlighten the global community. Educate yourself with a Q&A panel of exiled citizens and fill your belly with Burmese street food while raising funds for medical aid and relief efforts. The Burmese fight for freedom told in six films at The Cube.

Sell out warning! Sideburns, sitars and world domination - nothing’s ever come close to the dual-band pyrotechnics of DIG. Now Courtney vs Anton gets resurrected 20 years later ft. fresh narrative from side-lined BJM bandmate Joel + 40 more minutes of self-destructive indie-psych megalomania. DIG XX 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION at The Cube.
