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
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).

Sell out warning! A fresh and accessible way into the Bard from award-winning writer, director and performance storyteller Debs Newbold. She transforms the Cube’s stage into the Tempest’s otherworldly isle in a playful, one-woman reimagining of Shakespeare’s most enigmatic work.

An intimate Gay Sex Tuesday showcase of the work of Barbara Hammer, legend of 70s queer experimental film! Hammer’s raw, reverent shorts are tactile celebrations of lesbian sexuality that refuse the male gaze and fetishization of queer desire – they’re still groundbreaking to this day.
