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.

Ecstatic triple bill of Middle Eastern and North African maestros playing electrifying calls for unity in a divided world. Headed by Mohammad Syfkhan’s bouzouki and drum-machine fuelled Kurdish wedding dabkes, guaranteed to ignite fans of Omar Souleyman, Omar Khorshid, Nass El Ghiwane.

Mind-melting triple bill of kinetic free improv for noise weirdos in search of jazz ecstasy. Earth Ball’s no-wave cvlt psych damage will have you scuzz-ing out to fresh dimensions + incendiary solo drum-cendance from the legend Chris Corsano (of Flower-Corsano Duo, Joe McPhee, Björk infamy). Mandatory elevation FFO: Wolf Eyes, Sun Ra, Taj Mahal Travellers, The Flying Luttenbachers.
Earth Ball + Chris Corsano + Support at The Cube.
Argento-indebted lurid giallo feast tinged with UK folk horror thrills, Imogen’s a new DIY cinema delight from Keith Tippett's go-to saxman / flautist Kevin Figes. Presented with Q&A and live music from local movers and players.

Rapturous adventures in guitar and percussion, RIP the chord! Taking Steve Reich’s mallet-based minimalism and Glen Branca’s guitar orchestras to their logical peak - Ex Easter Island Head muster transcendental waves of drone and chiming bell-like tones from prepared electric strings.
