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.

Sell out warning! Theremin twanging surf cadets Palooka 5 tackle the mothership of all sci-fi epics - Fritz Lang’s Metropolis - in an inspired cinematic pairing that’s gonna give Moroder’s celeb-heavy ‘84 rescore a run for its money. Enter an exquisite, expressionist, retro-future, urban vision without parallel; you cannot see this film enough / why the hell haven’t you seen it yet?!
Palooka 5 at The Cube.
The Little Unsaid bring their uncategorisable live show to town! Anything can happen: restless post‑rock folk entwines with spectral electronica, squelchy pulses, and vaporous soundscapes. This'll hit with fans of: Nick Cave, Four Tet, Joan Shelley, The Weather Station.

Intimate documentary exposing the gendered fault lines carved by economic collapse in rural India. Sanjivani’s world shatters when her farmer husband falls victim to a failing agricultural system. Widowhood silences her until a secret circle of women expands her world. Marching in the Dark’s a potent reminder of how global economic forces ripple through overlooked lives.
