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
For anyone fascinated by eccentric thinkers, mysticism and the paranormal, it's time to get acquainted with Colin Wilson. This mammoth 6 hour screening is the definitive guide to the life of the self-taught philosopher, literary outsider and founder of ‘new existentialism’, who went from sleeping on the streets to penning 100+ consciousness-expanding tomes.
Colin Wilson: His Life and Work at The Cube.
Sell out warning! We've all dreamed of our own funeral, the tears, the mourners, the touching tributes, but death really gets in the way! This radical rehearsal of our end-of-days uses Boal's anarchic Theatre of the Oppressed as a therapeutic framework to delve into the mechanics of grief and loss, and, ultimately, reaffirm what we truly live for.

Sell out warning! Bristol Porn Festival digs into the raunchier end of the moving image, bringing together short films by queer artists and sex-workers from Bristol and beyond. Hosted by local filthmongers Maya Poison and Pixie Sin, with ceramic awards for the evening’s most salacious offerings hand-crafted by Bunny Royle. Leave your inhibitions at the door....

Silver Waves flies the flag for wonderfully damaged avant-garde music, fusing gnarled industrial attitude with warped contemporary pop. This WMH edition features: Evitceles’ dooooming metal and slow-mo distorted beats, Thea Grant’s swelling vocals, Reality’s hardcore punk distortion, and Henry Wilson’s absurdist performance art. Properly wild stuff!
EVITCELES / THEA GRANT / REALITY / HENRY WILSON +++ at The Cube.
At last! The enigmatic psych-folk sorceress and recent AD 93 alum makes her highly anticipated mark on Bristol. Dagmar drifts between raw musique concrète and gorgeous, haunted berceuses, layering phantom vocals with decaying Tascam distortion. Big one for fans of the daydreamer lulls of Joanne Robertson, Amateur Hour, Ignatz and Grouper.
