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.

Finally, Coil drone journeyman Drew McDowall comes to town, headlining this captivating fundraiser for displaced people in Lebanon.

Haunting medieval melodies meet musique concrète: avant-garde folkists La Cozna reshape traditional French balladry with unsettling experimentalism, carried by orchestral swells and sublime chanson vocals. They’re in timeless company with a rare appearance from lauded local Mary Hampton and her oddball, old-world storytelling.

The last round of The Cube's best nonsense gameshow saw questionably qualified participants deciding whether Big Dick and Pigeon Tits should bin off Bristol for an impending Australian relocation. They continue to let you way too close to their bewildering private lives with a hatchling gender reveal, brought to you via deranged quiz rounds, musical numbers, and maybe some fruit lobbed at the stage. IT’S A BIIIRD!

A squirm-inducingly deadpan journey through the life of a millennial Jewish woman in Brooklyn – think Frances Ha’s darker, BDSM-fixated cousin, or a Lena Dunham/Roy Andersson crossover. The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed is an astonishing debut from writer, director and star Joanna Arnow, who’ll be joining Microplex-goers for a post-screening Q&A sesh.

Sell out warning! Where were you in ‘92? If it was up at Bagley’s in your Kangols or tearing the bricks down at Castlemorton, this doc salutes you.
