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
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.
Canadian-Serbian singer-songwriter Dana Gavanski accompanies her arresting and delicate voice with piano in classically ethereal art-pop tunes. Berlin based Slipper collage a heady harmonic mix of psychedelia and DIY-wrapped harmony pop, while Pictureframes’ songs evoke serene dreamlike folk lullabies FFO: Cate Le Bon, Yo La Tengo, early Sharon Van Etten, The Beta Band.

Serious line-up goals FFO: Sunn O))), Earth, Boris, Neurosis, Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
Nadja, Urzah, sevenyearVictimUnit, Crash Bandighoul at The Cube.
Bristol’s BYO conspiracy theory gathering returns! We’re assured no government actors are involved, but eyes and ears are everywhere. Scramble together your wildest conspiratorial jabberings - now’s your chance to be heard - or just pull up a chair for the unfolding post-post-truth wormhole…..
Truth Seekers Ball 2025 at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Folk gig of the year!? Reclusive baroque royalty graces the Cube for an incredibly rare and incredibly intimate airing of cult classic psych-tinged gems of the proto-freak-folk canon.
