Fresh from last night's UK premiere , Fiume o morte! lands in Bristol today with director Igor Bezinović in person.

📅 17:30 — £6 — www.cubecinema.com

"Does the director intend to remind us, almost imperceptibly, that even though his town’s current identity is a rebuke to the old fascist interlopers, no country has a monopoly on nationalism or fascism?" ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘇𝘂 (2003)

Filmed on the shores of the Caspian Sea, the filmmaker’s experimental meditation is as much an ode to Ozu as it is a poetic distillation of Kiarostami’s own cinema.

Over the course of five discrete segments, the director allows nature—the ultimate non-actor—to reveal the rhythms, “hidden patterns” and myriad micronarratives that emerge for the creative and curious beings who have the patience to watch and wait.

Serene, disarming, life-affirming, Five produces the sonic and visual equivalents to those precious and mundane tastes of cherry that Kiarostami’s cinema encourages all to recognize and savor.

Gay S*x Tuesdays returns next week for the rarely-screened, must-see Japanese s*x romp Beautiful Mystery!

Inspired by the failed coup led by celebrated closet case Yukio Mishima, Beautiful Mystery throws good taste out the window to tell the story of a young recruit to a militia who finds that he’s being asked to swallow more than nationalist propaganda…

Please join us for one of the oddest experiences you’ll have in a cinema this year.

Frankenstein: Mask Required Screening 15th November 2pm

£5 Tickets via The Cube website

Guillermo del Toro has long circled Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the gothic tale of creation, obsession and ruin that has haunted cinema since its beginnings.

Del Toro strips Shelley’s myth down to its raw emotions: ambition, loneliness, desire, dread. A magnum opus from a filmmaker who has always seen the monster as the mirror of our humanity.

Covid Care

To keep everyone safe, FFP2 (or better) masks are required for all at this event, unless you are exempt. 

You don’t need to disclose your barrier to wearing a mask if you’re exempt; however, if you are able to wear a mask, you will be doing so for the benefit of the whole group - including attendees who are unable to wear a mask.

We will provide FFP2 masks to anyone who needs one on arrival. Please bring your own if you are able to. 

Please do not attend if you have a new cough, sore throat, fever or if you have other symptoms of any kind of contagious illness. 

The event will be 50% capacity at most. 

Ventilation in The Cube auditorium replaces the air in an hour. 

Why are we requiring masks? 

Covid is still here and is still disabling people, Long Covid affects marginalised people at the highest rates, and we want to be more accessible to people who are currently shut out of public spaces due to a lack of airborne virus mitigations.

Good quality (FFP2) masks are the best way to protect each other from airborne viruses such as Covid, flu and colds.

We Keep Us Safe!

Other Access Info

The Cube is regrettably not wheelchair accessible - there are many steps required to enter the building and to get between the different levels inside. 

We have gender neutral toilets and a disabled toilet.

Free tickets are available for personal assistants.

🎥 DORIAN GRAY IN THE MIRROR OF THE YELLOW PRESS
🗓️ Wed 22 Oct, 19:30
🎟️ £5 cubecinema.con

Ulrike Ottinger’s Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Yellow Press (1984) closes the Berlin Trilogy with a delirious, hyper-stylised spin on Oscar Wilde’s tale of beauty, fame, and corruption.

Model Veruschka von Lehndorff becomes Dorian Gray, the ultimate manufactured celebrity, while the magnificent Delphine Seyrig ❤️ plays Dr. Mabuse, a sinister media mogul who creates and destroys stars for sport.

Expect extravagant costumes, icy boardrooms, surreal underworlds, and a fierce critique of capitalism’s seductive glamour, all served with Ottinger’s baroque wit and q***r sensibility.
