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.

Where else but the Microplex would you find an offbeat celebration of cosmic Moog pioneer Mort Garson? From astrological odes to phytophile bio-symphonies to occult operas to easy listening exotica (via Doris Day) - Mort did it all. Buckle up for a gonzo elegy in sound and vision, Cube-style.
A Celebration of Mort Garson's 100th Birthday
Sell out warning! Dynamic and intricate post-rock catharsis coming out the cultish Wrong Speed Records stable. All Structures Align bring the spidery introverted angst of Slint, epic scope of GSY!BE and post-hardcore release of Unwound at a time when our sadcore self really needs it again (again… again).
All Structures Align + support from Broadsheets & ЗАЛІЗО
Organic rituals and electro-acoustic bliss-outs for the Mother God. Rosso Polare’s a disorientating sound-trip of stumbling folk guitar, primeval pulses and rhythmic chants - perfectly preceded by Gibrana Cervantes's lilting violin dronescapes. Compelling strangeways from the Schwet camp, as always.
Worldclass freaksonics from Milanese electro-acoustic duo and Mexican violinist/composer.
Welcome to the only Dada bargain bin club in town. Where landfill media lives and breathes again in the ‘absurdist AV lounge’ with live workout DVD VJs, modular madness from Steve Davis + Gaz, £2 entry and £1 vinyl sale. One for the serious / not-serious sonic explorers and recovering hoarders!
Warm welcoming and weird, an odd and financially accessible soothing balm (or enlivening irritant) made with the curious in mind
