WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW? (Arntz/Chasse/Vincent/ 2004 / USA / 108 mins /35mm /cert 12a) (sun 21st-tues 23rd/ 8pm / £2) This is something that falls vaguely between Channel five fodder, a documentary about the latest quantum theory on life, reality and everything, and a cgi wet dream, this 'film' needs to be taken at FACE VALUE- as an accessible enquiry into what makes us feel the way we often do when we can't understand why we want, or would want to do anything or even exist at all. It's divided the critics (between awful and unforgivable), but since when did a critic want to be told they don't exist. Good for a LAUGH, or a RELIGIOUS SATORI or too (whats the difference these days?), it features some enigmatic speakers (any fans of LUCKY PEOPLE CENTRE this is similar territory), some interesting ideas, and some ideas so nutty you may reject them with such whiplash that it could taint the whole experience. Don't let that, or anything else you might have bin told about this particular pelicular stop you from enjoying a cheap nite out, joining in lively debate in the bar afterwards...

(Timoner / 2005 / USA / 35mm / 111mins / cert15) (Sun 28th + Tues 30-Wed 31st / 8pm / £2) DIG! is ostensibly the story of two up-and-coming west coast indie bands, filmed on a shoestring over seven years, starting in 1996. It documents the rise and rise of the Dandy Warhols, led by Courtney Taylor-Taylor, and the contrasting disintegration of The Brian Jonestown Massacre under the maniacal auspices of lead singer and producer Anton Newcombe. Taylor and Newcombe are initially friends, united in their desire not to play the record company game, with Taylor looking up to Newcombe as a musician. People have been calling it the 'real Spinal Tap (yeah we've heard that one before) but it is riviting, facinating, appalling and amusing, but never, ever boring. DIG! won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, Whoa , how many excl!malt!ons can we cram into one months programdude!

(Fri 2nd / 8pm / £2) Roger Tarry proudly makes his Cube debut to mark the release of his first full-length album ‘Last Time I Was There’. Tender vocals, effortlessly delivered with gossamer touch, showcase a true lyrical talent. Acoustic songs are given room to breathe, mixing achingly melancholic melodies with the odd spiky chorus, and traces of electronica add ambience to the lush arrangements of cello, piano, bass and drums. www.rogertarry.net

with Mole Harness (Sat 3rd / 8pm / £5) A Qu Junktion Another magical find from the man who discovered Devendra Banhart, Michael Gira (Swans, Young God Records). Mi and L'au are Finnish/French couple who live deep in the woods in Finland, where they devote themselves to writing music together. Their music is bare and austere with voice, acoustic guitars, and very moving orchestrations. It has the naked quality of early Nico or even Chet Baker recordings - soulful and elegant, without being touchy-feely or confessional. Haunting and pure, like a soundtrack to a glacial landscape, they come to the Cube after stealing the show at Green Man Festival. New boy wonder Alexander Tucker, star of Venn 2005, vocalises a southern free folk sprit with extreme outsider notions of space and time. He takes the raw, mysterious stuff of English folk song and detours it through a hyper antique- modern mindset. Having recently toured with Jackie O'Motherfucker, his new album OLD FOG is out on ATP and a collaboration with Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) is underway. One of Bristol's melancholic treasures, Mole Harness has been steadily amassing new material and formed his own label, Stay Dog Army Records. Time for his first live show in ages demonstrating an evolving sound palette that bears the influences of Fennesz and Terry Riley.

(Mon 5th Sept / 7.30pm / £2/3 though nobody turned away for lack of funds) Bristol Indymedia is pleased to be screening "Rebels Without a Cause", an independent film by Daniel Simpson and Matthew Green which highlights the nightmare facing northern Ugandans caught up in one of Africa's longest and most neglected conflicts. After nearly two decades of bloodshed, why do Ugandans seem to have been forgotten by the world? Introduced by filmmaker Daniel Simpson. We will also be showing more exclusive footage from the recent G8 protests - footage from the other side of the fence at a summit that was billed by the attending leaders as making poverty history...

Hans Weingartner / Germany / 2004 / 127 mins / 35mm / Cert 15 (Tue 6th / 8pm / £2) Evicted from her flat, Berlin student Jule moves in with her boyfrend Peter and soon learns that Peter and his flatmate, Jan, are breaking into the homes of middle class suburbans at night. Instead of stealing or vandalizing, though, they carefully and ornately rearrange furniture and valulables and leave messages such as 'Your Days of Plenty Are Numbered' (the original German title of the film) as a mark of their naive political intent. Their idealistic activities are shattered however when their meticulously planned civil disturbances yield unforseen reprecussions, and they are forced to take desperate, even illegal measures. A perceptive political tale of our times, the film features another superb performance from hot German actor Daniel Brühl (Goodbye Lenin!).

(Tim Burton / 1988 / USA / 91 Mins / Cert 15) (Fri 9th / 7.30pm / £2) With Charlie under his belt, and the Corpse Bride just around the corner, this is looking to be year of the Burton. So what better way to celebrate this momentous occasion in the history of film than to dust off one of the old classics for another look. And they don't come more classic than Beetlejuice. Featuring a host of Burton regulars (Jeffrey Jones, Winona Ryder) the film was originally planned as a supernatural drama entitled "The Maitlands", about a deceased couple dealing with the troubles of the afterlife. Only when Michael Keaton began filming his scenes and asked for creative freedom did Tim Burton realize the potential of a dark comedy. His Beetlejuice becomes the dark, comic centre of the film and has provided hundreds, if not thousands, of party- goers the ideal Halloween costume for almost 20 years.

(Terry Gilliam / 1985 / UK / 142 mins / Cert 15) (Fri 9th / 9.30pm / £2) With images such as the one shown beginning to appear on public transport in America as a reaction to the rise in homeland terrorism, the time seems ripe to re-visit Terry Gilliam's satirical vision of the spectre of totalitarianism and evil in modern democracy. Sam Lowry is a harried ministry worker in an all-too familiar society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. He dreams of a life where he can fly away from echnology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle, Lowry meets Jill Layton - a truck driver who he believes to be the girl he has seen in his dreams... Jonathan Pryce plays Lowry as a sympathetic anti-hero whose sense of personal responsibility has been undermined by the systems of government and family which surround him, whose naive attempts to challenge the system vause more harm than good, and whose friends smile with impunity whilst torturing innocent suspects. Gilliam returns to cinemas this year after an eight year absence - well worth reminding yourself of what he is capable of at his very best.

with Freeze Puppy + The Computer Sings (Sat 10th / 8pm / £5) Jesus H Christ a night brimming with smiles and lush devilishly homecrafted songs. Three wilfully wayward West Country eccentrics join forces for the home leg of their UK tour. You can't keep a good man down so Minotaur Shock got signed up to 4AD and is back with second album 'Maritime', the most tuneful and downright enchanting electronic offering you care to imagine. Against all the odds, Philip Glass, dreamy FM rock, Prince influences joyously combine in distinctly English flights of fanciful moodpieces. The live audiovisual show features, lush animations, comic turns... and the obligatory dream sequence! Comes with two more oddbods in tow: the unbelievable mixture of African guitar, Fantomas studio boffinary and Ray Davis song craft that is FREEZE PUPPY; plus Mr_Hopkinson, whose mischievous harddrive takes centre stage in THE COMPUTER SINGS, a medley of vocoder-led indie classics put on repeat by Radio 1's Rob da Bank. Think cabaret, see video trickery and hear pop god music. Wunderful home entertainment for the beautiful odd bod. Come in. Presented by Qu Tours

(Todd Solondz / 2004 / USA / 100 Mins / Cert 15) (Wed 14th / £2 / 8pm) Thirteen-year-old Aviva Victor wants to be a 'mom'. She does all she can to make this happen, and comes very close to succeeding, but in the end her plan is thwarted by her sensible parents. So she runs away, still determined to get pregnant one way or another, but instead finds herself lost in another world. She takes a road trip from the suburbs of New Jersey, through Ohio to the plains of Kansas and back. Like so many trips, this one is round-trip, and it's hard to say in the end if she can ever be quite the same again, or if she can ever be anything but the same again. Todd Solondz has carved out a career depicting the nihilistic underbelly of the American dream, taking perverse pleasure in revealing a side to life rarely shown in mainstream cinema. Once again, with Palindromes, he lifts the stone of a hot topic and scrutinises with a curious objectivity the lives underneath. For the role of Aviva he takes the bold, Brechtian move of casting a different actress to play her at every stage of her journey. As well as creating a distance between the character and the audience, he also implies the variety of different lives the one character represents and lends the story a timeless, fable like quality absent from his other films.

with A Lion + The Fuck Buttons (Thu 15th / 8pm / £5) Kavalier Klub returns with gypsy turbo-folk-punk from modern day nomads Eric Boros and Marylise Frecheville. The Canadian/French duo devour shreds of ancient Chinese folk songs, eccentric stand-up cabaret, and surrealistic verse in a whirlwind of dervish energy right up there with Lightning Bolt or Ruins. The pair are pretty much permanently on tour, singing for their supper in whatever café, bar, or squat will have them, worldwide. Noisy comedy to move your body and twist your mind. Support comes from two Bristol based acts with a penchant for sonic detritous: mechanisised industrial post punkers A Lion, plus throbbing, technicolour noise from the Fuck Buttons.

STEVE TURNER (Mudhoney) + S J Esau (Sun 18th Sept / 7.30pm / £6) In the country to play two sold out shows with MUDHONEY in London, the Microplex is mad to welcome Steve Turner, lead guitarist with the superfuzzin' band, to do his solo acoustic show. From his punk rock roots with Green River to the seminal proto grunge noise pop of Mudhoney and the gloriously wasted garage of Monkeywrench he has now hushed down to write fine songs with elements of folk, country, blues, and rock. His debut 'Searching for Melody' quickly established Turner as another pivotal Northwest singer-songwriter. It is moving, as emotional as it is tender, and as simplistic as it is engaging. His high-lonesome, salt-of-the-earth singing and surprisingly understated guitar playing hints at elements of Lee Hazelwood, Townes Van Zandt and Dave Van Ronk. Spellbinding Sunday evening comin’ down music. "For me punk and folk... they’re the same thing to me, one’s just louder than the other." – Steve Turner

A Float Records Night with Lawrence English + VI + Bugbrand (Thu 22nd / 8pm / £5) Prepare your mind for an evening of deep listening, fragile beauty and spectral electronics. Lawrence English is a writer, musician and media artist based in Brisbane, Australia who has worked with the likes of DJ Olive, Janek Schaefer and Scanner. Like Whitman, he applies live digital processing to acoustic sounds in his subtle ambient meditations. Hypnotic head music to clear your ears. With support from V.I. - raw analogue undulations for the ears and eyes using a bank of archaic step modulator synthesisers: the sonic output is fed through an oscilliscope and projected onto the big screen. Also tonight, Bugbrand presents a reworking of Alvin Lucier's "Vespers", a piece in which a number of performers, using ultrasonic devices, explore a darkened room like bats to create an image in sound of the space's contours. ***regretably Keith Fullerton Whitman has been forced to cancel this event***

plus MEN DIAMLER (Sat 24th / 7.30pm / £7) An inspirational guitar player, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer John Parish now sings. Supporting the release of his second solo album on THRILL JOCKEY “Once Upon A Little Time” John and his band will play a special show at the microplex. This is a intimate, intense, sometimes serious, sometimes frivolous, sometimes beautiful affair with a Eurocentric line up of musicians supporting his foray into organic singer-songwriter territory. Parish began his career as singer with cult band Automatic But by the beginning of the 90s he’d grown uncomfortable with the role of front-man & opted instead to play side-kick/collaborator with amongst others Eels, Giant Sand & most famously, PJ Harvey.Live it promises to be a epic and moving affair of songs, craft and widescreen dynamics. Prepared to be blown away by the lungs of MEN DIAMLER for he is a pulsating performer. A man with split personalities in possession of a huge, operatic voice for the good of singing chants, lullabyes, blues, spirituals in a jaw dropping style. Naked soul giving and strange stories from a gifted singer. Presented by Qu Junktions
