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! Make no mistake, THIS is the Gay Sex Tuesday agenda! These perverts want to destroy the traditional weekend! They’ll force their slutty temporal deviance on you and your loved ones! Meet us at the Cube auditorium to protest this calendar-defying filth, where we’ll also be taking a long, hard look at the jaw-dropping output of 80s Tom-of-Finland-hunk-come-to-life Al Parker… for research purposes…
GAY SEX TUESDAYS does Friday night 7.30pm at The Cube.
Where better than the Cube’s weird-fermenting womb to take on our countercultural heritage? BRHG boffin Steve Hunt leads a freewheeling tour of Angela Carter’s 1960s Bristolian bohemia, while rummaging through the region’s history of radicalism, anarchism, and other quintessentially West Country ways of raging/raving against the machine.
Radical Counter Culture in the West Country from the 1960's to 1980's at The Cube.
The concert film to end all concert films... before there was Woodstock, there was 68’s Monterey Pop, immortalised in this euphoric countercultural snapshot. D. A. Pennebaker captured some of the best live performances in history, not to mention Mama Cass’ rapturous gawping while Janis Joplin howls the sky down, the multiple counts of guitar destruction/fornication/arson, the priceless cutaways to a sea of blissed-out hippies…
HIPPY TRIPPY SUMMER PRESENTS: MONTEREY POP at The Cube.
Kill all hippies! Eggshells perfectly simulates the death of the 60s in one batshit upheaval of free love, acid, utopian ideals and HAUNTED COMMUNES. Yes, this is the shoestring art-house prelude to Texas Chainsaw Massacre you didn’t know existed, indulging Hooper's experiments in altered stop-motion states and supernatural psychedelia way before Leatherface invaded his sleep. Colour us intrigued…
{ horror movie legend Tobe Hooper's little-seen otherworldly stoner odyssey }
‘We are black f*ggots with a political agenda!’ – The Cube’s queer sleazefest keeps on rolling with the best 90s flick you’ve never heard of. Stephen Winter’s criminally underrated debut follows a ragtag young activist group in their radical campaign against the deadly toll of state inaction during the AIDS crisis. It’s a dazzling celebration of the wit and wrath of queer people of colour.
Through a campaign of fabulous surprise attacks, an underground band of radical queer HIV+ activists, addicts, and drag queens take to the streets of New York City to combat conservative politicians and government apathy towards the AIDS crisis.
