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
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.
LA COZNA AND MARY HAMPTON at The Cube.
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!

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. With an eye-popping anyone-who’s-anyone assemblage of talking heads and rush-inducing archival footage, Rave Culture pulls the neon curtain back on the Second (and last) Summer of Love like nothing before it. Bring Yer Own Vix VapoRub.
RAVE CULTURE: A NEW ERA - Film at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Climb the anal staircase with this super enriching, carefully assembled retrospective of Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson and John Balance’s films. Hilariously confrontational music videos, homoerotic art shorts, twisted commercials, phallic sculptures, and wild death-play simulations… unmissable for the Coil heads, and a non-negotiable England's Hidden Reverse education for the rest of you!
A Way to Die: The Short Films of Coil at The Cube.
Avant-garde luminary and Xiu Xiu member Hyunhye Seo deals a disarming blow of hushed drone, spectral electro-acoustics and neo-classical unravellings. From exploring Sargassoan eel spawning to spatial dialogues, her compositions are profound experimental noise excavations accompanied by spellbinding displays of improv piano prowess. Unmissable FFO: Annea Lockwood, Kali Malone, Thomas Köner.
