  • THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME

    song remains

    Long regarded as the worst rock-and-roll film of all time, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is the kind of dispiriting experience that even the most hardcore Led Zeppelin fan can barely endure.  With its daft fantasy sequences, incompetent direction, and lazy concert footage (shot at Madison Square Garden), SONG fails most spectacularly at the level of the music: it simply doesn’t rock. Now, legendary Arkansas noise band REAGAN’S POLYP have rescued THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME with an entirely new score, guaranteed to contain no Led Zeppelin music, that elevates Messrs.Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham (as well as their megalomaniacal jockey/pimp, Peter Grant) to the status of experimental-film pioneers.  Witness THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME in a way that no one has:  as a masterpiece of avant-garde cinema.

    REAGAN’S POLYP, founded in 1992, has recorded over 25 albums for their parent company, Trash Fish Entertainment.  ATA is proud to host their West Coast performance debut.

  • THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC

    passion of Joan

    Trash Fish Entertainment and Artists Television Access are proud to present THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC with a beautiful new score for solo guitar, performed live by LESTER “TOMBSTONE” RAWW of THE PINE BOX BOYS and THE ZAG MEN. 

    Presumed lost for fifty years – until a second-generation print was discovered in a storeroom in a Norwegian mental institution – Carl Th. Dreyer’s THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC is perhaps the most disturbing, and undoubtedly the greatest, religious film ever made.  A profound influence on generations of filmmakers, both great (Ken Russell) and small (Lars von Trier), Dreyer’s silent classic focuses with unrelenting intensity on the suffering visage of the French martyr, unforgettably embodied by Renee Falconetti (in a performance that Pauline Kael called the “greatest of all time”), as she faces a monstrous tribunal of hypocritical clergy.
