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
Incomparable alien balladry taking the fragile beauty of Arthur Russell, Nick Drake or Chet Baker and pairing it with singular guitar gurgles and synth wheezes. Eric Chenaux’s an unmissable astral treasure.
Eric Chenaux & RÓIS at The Cube.
Salvador Dalí eat your heart out! Gary and the crew unite with fellow puppeteer extraordinaires Araceli Puppet Theatre and Georgia Quality Kent for a puppet cabaret of Frankenstein’s monster proportions. Surrealist theatrical mischief and awe awaits, if you dare ;)
EXQUISITE CORPSE PUPPET CABARET at The Cube.
Copper Sounds showcase new levels of ceramic automata, sonic sculpture and electro-acoustic mastery in this fresh collaboration with Porto’s concrète bastions Sonoscopia. Support comes from post-flamenco troubadour Adrián de Alfonso (fka Don the Tiger), who’s disintegrating baroque ballads will astound fans of Eric Chenaux, Nick Cave, Fiesta en el Vacío and Swordfishtrombones era Tom Waits.

Bristol’s flagship indie paper brings its activism-cast live to the spiritual home of passionate overthinkers for a new monthly session.

Sell out warning! The animated film of the decade comes to the Cube! Cute AF interspecies animal cooperation in a wordless post-human world full of subtle mysticism, jaw-dropping beauty and eye-watering emotion. This is understated cinema for the ages; a stunning odyssey unlike anything you’ll see. Meow.
Flow - 8pm at The Cube.
