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
One of the best films about film ever made! Peeping Tom killed Michael Powell’s career and made a generation of critics see monsters in the mirror. A self-reflexive pre-Psycho proto-slasher that directly implicates the viewer in Carl Boehm’s grisly killings, it’s a masterclass in perversion and subversion that wouldn’t be matched for decades.
Christmas Turkeys: Peeping Tom- 8PM at The Cube.
Cheerleading mean girl turned man-eating succubus Megan Fox gleefully eviscerates high school boys across small-town Minnesota in Diablo Cody-penned horror-comedy Jennifer’s Body. Shoddily marketed as teen trash at the time, it’s since been rightfully reappraised as a clever, campy ride through girlhood frenemy-ship and female rage. Festive!
Christmas Turkeys: Jennifer's Body- 7PM at The Cube.
A quadruple bill of oddball sonics for Mouthfeel’s Xmas shubz at The Cube. In the mix: Kar Pouzi’s melding baritone sax and electronix, Copper Sounds’ epic sonic sculpture meets electro-acoustic mastery, Jo Hellier’s operatic melodrama, and Raina Greifer’s grotesque festive cabaret. Freax to the front!
Mouthfeel XMAS Party at The Cube.
Post-PC music absurdism meets Baudrilliardian tomfoolery: Jazz Lambaux is a shrewd jester for our doomscrolling times. Joined by a merry band of smallpipes and megaphone artistes plus screamo-punk rascal 300SkullsandCounting, Tough Sell truly tests the limits of raucous unamplified sound FFO: Callahan & Witscher, Thy Slaughter, Julek Ploski, Gentle Stranger, The Femcels.

The Cube’s Czech fever lasts well past Czechtember! In Václav Vorlíček’s classic fairytale adaptation, Cinderella is no meek housebound girl but a mischievous equestrian who hunts, flirts, and wields three magical acorns, aided by her clever owl Rozárka. Playful, wholesome, and radical, Three Wishes rewrites the Brothers Grimm with singular Czech wit and charm.
Three Wishes For Cinderella - 6pm at The Cube.
